lack of rabbits

[fred90 3,087]

just been to the Yorkshire coast for a few days, due to my wrist still in plaster gave me plenty of opportunity to view scenery not having to drive. from A1 along A64 all the way to Filey, didn't see a single rabbit either sat on grass verge, in fields or run over. rode through part of north York moors and exactly the same, sad times.

Done 2 runs to East Midlands Airport where I had permission and din’nt see a coney. To be fair I haven’t seen a rabbit in ages.

What about this virus, HDR2 or whatever it's called...? To what extent has that done it's handy work? 

Theres a few bunnies round here. But the last two he's turned his nose up at when offered as a meal. The last one he ate some of but only when I took some of the meat off the bone and then he was sick the next morning. Strange- there must be something not right with them. The dog eats anything.

More in my area than there ever has been…. Yet there is less rabbits than there ever has been on some of my permissions in the dales where it used to be crawling with them. Still alot there but a noticable difference

I'm not against airgunners but once the warm weather comes there out in Force all over the country on the rabbits I'd of thought they'd be more on with rats greys pigeons n crows etc, problem is alot of people don't let rabbits build up over time n once they start seeing a few there on them they can't recover well enough..
