comanche 2,799 Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) About two weeks ago l promised to have a wander around a nursery that raises native trees in search of a rabbit that had breached security and been annoying the client by pooing ,digging and nibbling wher such activities were not welcome. It was a paid job but the recent weather had somewhat dampened my enthusiasm and it kept getting put into the "maybe tomorrow" catagory. Today ,empowered by a sunny start and the threat of little more than a few showers l set off in search of The Rabbit. Well the rabbit turned out to be two rabbits. There are few burrows on the place and most of these are along a single hedge line along a ditch. It is pretty sparce at one end but becomes thicker ,until at the far end One is faced with a right pigdog of undergrowth. Of course ,it was in this horrid tangle that the dog finally gave a mark. It took an hour to set 17 purse nets and carve a run for a stop net . After that it was easy. One rabbit bolted to the ferret in seconds from the hole the dog had marked. The second popped out soon after and there ensued a scene which involved rabbit dog and ferret thrashing about in the flooded ditch. It would've made a great picture but l thought it kinder to effect a rescue. Edited March 8, 2020 by comanche 9 Quote Link to post
