Rabbit numbers

[Hoolit 2]

Hi all I remember someone saying they are seeing a lot of black rabbits about i am seeing a lot out my way and as i was driving through East lothian a few days ago i saw about 7 or 8 within a mile or so ,but the numbers off rabbits in general seem to be a lot higher than the last ten years .

Is there a rabbit population increase there definately seems to be around me.

How about other areas of the country , i would be interested to find out about your areas.

 

Keep smiling Hoolit

Loads of black and the occasional ginger ones around us on the penines, we are seeing some were weve not seen them before, and no sign of mixy. Should be a good season coming up for the ferrets. Dont know why but most farmers I ferret for dont want the "black uns" killing.
