I find there is more out after twelvish but some places there's loads as soon as its dark. I think the places where there is more out later the rabbits are harder I e. Round the doors. As it is hammerd all the time so I think all the slow rabbits are killed and the fast ones are left to breed. Could be wrong likr any one else think this?

When I was at the lamping I used to find that around midnight that rabbits were at their furthest from home and their bellies tended to be at their fullest, if it slowed them down I don't know.

Another thing I noticed that sometimes a full moon mightn't be up till 10 or so, so you might get an early hour in or the full moon might be gone in the early hours so you might get an ealy morning in.
