Around dawn this Fieldmouse (Wood Mouse) seems to be surrounded by rabbits in an arc gazing at the mouse as if in judgement. It looks quite creepy to us even though the rabbits pose no threat to the mouse.

It's a difficult time for rabbits with their primary food source of grass locked in by snow and ice. Here one leaves it's burrow for a look about before going back in the warm.

This young Rabbits position seems unexpectedly familiar.
A Movie publicity still? Images from a Peter Rabbit book?

The Rabbit may be the farmer scourge, but we can't help but admire the mobile ears independently 'focussing' on sounds from different directions.

We shall be looking out for the ~~Silver Blaise~~ white spot on the forehead.

Hope you laugh at this is much as we did. Nothing else animate in the original frame, so no real idea what it's doing.
Practicing for the Rabbit Olympic High-jump, maybe?

This rabbit is probably only about a 30cm (a foot) in the air but we have no idea why, nor remember, such airborne antics from a Rabbit before.

Whee!
If we were this Rabbit we would be hurrying back to our nice warm Burrow, so perhaps this is the need-for-speed.

These 2 successive frames indicate that the rabbit lifted the fir cone from behind the log (probably awkwardly placed partly under it) on to the top to have a good chew on it.
The images are 1 hour apart - has the mouse magically turned into a slug?

Grumpy Bunny!
This is undoubtedly an anthropomorphic interpretation, but can you see it any other way?

Classic baby rabbit eating carrot - or at least wondering what it is.

4 days later - perhaps the green end is easier to chew!

This rabbit photographed in the early hours (5 a.m.) is caught in a pose like something out of children's story book!

This Rabbit sort of 'sits upright" to check over the surroundings as the first light of the day arrives.

Through the Kitchen window we spot this young Rabbit on the island of the main pond. There is enough weed and plant roots for a small creature to 'walk' across and barely get their paws wet
