Sad loss for the future bunnies

[mhopton 807]

Just been for a mooch with the dog to see how the local bunnies are doing close to my home on the higher land every thing is looking kinda ok ,but down near the beck it looks like a total loss! I mean a 2 mile walk down the beck must of come across 20 - 30 warrens all washed out some big sets of 25+ holes with no sight or sign of rabbits in any of them . Molly my jack Russell bitch nearly all ways puts 5 - 20 rabbits up out the hedges and mark over half the sets ? But this morning not one not one rabbit any where near the beck it's all worrying really with it been so close to breeding season .

And why o why do the silly buggers dig and set up home near water ?????????

If they can come back from the original myxi they will come back from anything mate :-)

If they can get up on higher ground they will and have been doing on quite a lot of spots ive been to. . . they seem to be climbing away from the flooding and wet fields.

Maybe during the summer months they will return to the lower ground again....well thats what im hoping for anyway.

The river banks are usually sandy spots they can dig into easy is why i think they end up on them. Poor buggers!

I went on a wee mooch today for a couple of hours, bolted five, if i had taken stop nets i could have had 8, so there are still pockets of rabbits about.
