EDIT: Unfortunately all my original image links are now broken. My photographs are now hosted at Flickr and on my website. Links to both of these sites are in my signature section.

Apologies for any broken image links that are now showing in any of my threads or posts.

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks Lilly and Jay. :-)

There are several of them that come into the garden, so if one breaks down the lawns will still get finished! :lol:

Cute shots, they look well fed. The one or 2 that venture into my yard show no interest in helping me cut the lawn, there eyes seem to be on my garden.:lol::lol:

We have loads of these bl**dy things up at the horses yard - they eat the grass, crap all over it, and dig big holes that horses can break legs in... cute little things tho' :-)

If you haven't got one already I recommend a Jack Russell or two.

My one has . . . . er . . . . . 'modified' thirty-nine of my lawn mowers since June 1999!

A gun is so much more fun! :cool: although there are about 6 wild(ish) cats up the yard that don't go hungry.

I actually saw a buzzard swoop down and grab a small bunny once! - Was quite sad really :cry:

Thanks John :-)

Kevin, it's almost comical watching a cat trying to drag one of those things into the house, when they have to do the John Wayne walk with their front legs for clearance!

:lol:

:lol:

One of ours (sadly no longer with us) once managed to drag a fully grown (rather dead) rabbit in through the cat flap and up the stairs, and 'dumped' it at the foot of the bed for us as a 'present' in the morning! :rolleyes:

To my dog one of these would be "a light snack". Not sure if I've ever had bunnies in my garden. Don't think so.... but maybe my dog gets there first and destroys the evidence!!

Nice photos :D

Thanks Sheryl. :-) I get quite a bit of rabbit action in the back garden, so there should be some opportunities for some more interesting shots before the subject becomes too boring!
