I am not sure whether he has been out himself on the hills these past few months or indeed if his raptor group have observed what was around them on the ground rather than in the sky.
If they had been up the hills of the Sma’ Glen with me in March they would have seen in excess of 20 hares on one hill on my first trip and at least five more on another hill plus a red kite nearby on my second visit.
