Bunny with Buttercups!
Most of the Buttercups have closed for the impending night - its about 9.45 p.m. and near the solstice and with the clocks shifted by an hour, at our latitude it is still twilight.

We don't see many Rabbit in recent years. One reason is that the trees now shade out most of what used to be grass between the trees, and the meadow area is mostly wild plants. But rabbits still breed somewhere near - here this young Rabbit visited the Meadow feeding site.

A Chilly young bunny - we hope it found enough food to make the trip worthwhile.

By our heating Oil tank (We are about a mile from the nearest gas main) this young rabbit looked so appealing we just had to take its photo nearly hidden in the long grass.

The twee-est pic of the week - Baby Bunny eating the weeds in the vegetable bed. The soil is so sodden that we don't want to compact it by walking on it. Cultivation is currently along one edge accessible from the already ruined grass. Everything we grow gets covered in bits of old dishwasher baskets to keep off this Rabbits, Squirrels, and more recently Reeves' Muntjac Deer.

We can't even begin to imagine why this juvenile Rabbit is leaping so high over the grass.

Silly one to show you, but the chance symmetry of the Robin between the ears of the Rabbit tickled our fancy.

A Young rabbit trying out this rather stale carrot. Wonder what 'he' thought of it?

This Rabbit running through the site is the first time we have recorded the front paws behind the back that can be seen quite regularly in Hares.
But The real puzzle for this 1st April is - does this rabbit have 3 ears?
The right 'ear' is a fold on the skin and fur at the back of the neck, but every time we see this image we can't help but see a 'third ear'

An Uber-twee Rabbit standing on the food as it eats it 'teenage' style. The ears look out of proportion, but that may be quite a normal part of development. We don't normally see Rabbits this young at the high resolution photo sites.
