Question...I think I'm right in saying that in Ireland, where the Brown Hare never really became established the Mountain Hare (Irish Hare) has a wide distribution from mountains to sea level. In Britain the latter is restricted to northern uplands. Was this always the case and the introduced Brown Hare filled a vacant niche or did the latter out-compete the indigenous specious at lower levels?
