End of season Mixy............

[D.C. 34]

Well, it seems we've been very lucky this year with mixy.............out of all the rabbits we've caught......only come across 3 with mixy, and they were in september, so am well pleased, and even though we've travelled up & down the country ferreting & lamping, can't believe we've not hit the odd patch or come across alot more!!!!.............NOT that i'm complaining.....................No way .........Around rural staffordshire, again we may have been lucky but Not seen a 1..........until the other afternoon

 

I decided to take off for a roam after work, with no agenda except to enjoy a walk out in the sun with my 'best pal'..............sad i know :sick: :sick: ..............but i don't give a feck!!

any how we'd been watching a load of young rabbits all healthy a full of life..........when i spotted this poor sod........ambling around on the edge of the warren,

 

 

 

I zoomed in with the camera, and saw he was pretty far gone, so decided to send the dog to pick him up,

 

 

 

After he'd been retrieved......................

 

 

we sat down & waited for the 'locals' to come back out & take advantage of the sun, & i counted 23 rabbits at one point outside the warren all healthy & well...........................Been back twice more to the same place & surrounding area, and not seen another deseased rabbit.........so either the rabbits are all in exceptional health at the moment and therefore resiliant or it wasn't a very virile strain..............It amazes me how they can live this close to each other with proberbly the most lethal desease to rabbits......and NONE of the others are affected..........bizarr
