Bunny Buddies
18th July 2021
There has been a sudden population explosion of bouncing baby bunnies in the fields. With the crops now so high and ripening quickly its easy to see where the rabbits have been hiding as the stalks have been nibbled to the ground.
Usually rabbits chew down the stalks in a telltale semi circle shape close to their burrows meaning that once the youngsters have learnt to stretch their legs they have to run further afield to find fresher shoots to eat.
My arrival often scares them a way but by just lying still for a while the adults usually come back out to investigate and assess the situation for threats. A few warning thumps of feet send smaller rabbits running for cover but before long they pop back out again and are as curious of me as I am of them.
