moxy 617 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 I look after a large and well established garden. Pop on now and again to keep the rabbit numbers down. This year has seen numbers in abundance so I haven't been leaving empty handed at each visit. Anyway. All the properties on this row back on to a woodland. There's no warrens but plenty of runs and active signs of fresh scrapes. I often see white arses hottailing through and out of the woods to a neighbouring field. That's when the curiosity kicked in. Where are they going? And is this where there coming from? Put the rifle back in the motor and went for a look. And yes!! The grass is greener on the other side!! The bordering field roughly an acre in size was bouncing. Mid afternoon and counted 48 rabbits of varying sizes. Lovely!! At the close corner of the paddock is a small conifer plantation. Possibly a hundred trees. Neatly fenced off and belonging to the house below. I could see well established runs in the field which all lead to this copse. As I made my presence known, the rabbits all made their exit and the field emptied. I landed round at the house and offered my help to the well dressed and well spoken old girl. "Your rabbits are getting a little out of hand and could do with thinning out" I said politely. "There not mine"!! She replyd "There in your woodland" I said. "There not" she said. And proceeded to try and tell me that it was the field that was the problem!! Quiet clear I wasn't getting anywhere I thanked her for her time and left. I managed to track the owner down of the field a couple of days later and got permission. We are slowly tickling the numbers down. Quote Link to post

moxy 617 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 still never seen a black rabbit....other than a dead one on your pic or Stu's. There's loads about. We often get them in all sorts of colours. Funny shades of silvery blues. Different shades of browns and sometimes with white patches or the odd white leg. Quote Link to post
