foxdropper 17,092 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Seen it twice before .Once when a rabbit rolled down a bank infront of us dead and again when one bounced from side to side on an old railway cutting .Both had been bitten base of neck by a stoat unseen .Very efficient predators Quote Link to post Share on other sites
