I wouldnt like to get too close to one though At least you would have a decent chance to out run them, on land they dont come across as the most fleet of foot creatures!

I didnt see any rabbits when I was there but the place was heaving with people, I caught a smell of fox a couple of times coming from the dunes as well so may be some sets hidden there, certainly be easy pickings for them with all the dead pups and after births etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
