The Duncan 802 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I was driving passed a field opposite RAF Lakenheath today and noticed a bunny or two feeding on clear patches of grass between the snow. As I looked further out across the field, I noticed they were everywhere! I estimate between 50 and 100 rabbits in a 5 acre area, next to Wangford Road (Wangford - great name for a small town lol!) heading towards Thetford, Norfolk. No signs of the myxoma vrius either, I am delighted to say. Any other sightings of large numbers of rabbits feeding in the day? It must be due to the really low night time temperatures and sunshine in the day IMO. atb Duncan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Duncan 802 Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 The field itself is opposite the RAF Lakenheath 'watching area' (for aircraft before any of you reprobates gets smutty!), not near the m-way fd. I think the main road is the A1042 (?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mate. . . it's only funny, because before i had got down to your post, i had typed Wangford into google maps, and realised it's only 3.5 hours away Very tempted to head over tomorrow Need to come up with some kind of plan for my day but alas the man flu is here . . . . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Duncan 802 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Went passed it again today - looked like a bunny convention! Also 1000's of woodies on the rape in big flocks, swirling around and blueing out the fields of rape along the A11. Made me regret being at work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
