Brown hares are in decline in North Wales, but why?

Saving Species reports from North Wales where conservationists are worried about the causes of a steady decline in the brown hare.

28/30 In this weeks programme Buzzards are implicated as part of the cause in the decline of Brown Hares in North Wales. Hares are not commonly linked to a Buzzards diet - so can this be right. We're in North Wales to find out.

We're also in Brazil with Mark Brazil who is exploring the flooded Amazon forest in search of the White Uakari Monkey.

And back in the UK - news that many more of the global species of whales can be found in British waters.
