This is the second time I've seen it hanging around since I moved in a couple weeks ago. I think it comes for the apple tree buffet. (I'm still trying to get a decent shot of that tree.)
Still captures from a movie clip, thats why they are a bit grainy.
Fluffy had been having a bit of a wash and I caught him flicking his tongue out - rare capture for me.
Here I am, a rabbit hearted boy
Frozen in the headlights
It seems I’ve made the final sacrifice

The rabbit is a key animal for a lot of mammals and birds in the Mediterranean Iberia. They are at the bottom of the food chain for most of the Iberian carnivores. Birds of prey, linxs, wild cats, wolves, foxes, they all hunt and eat rabbits. Man introduction of pests like myxomatosis or haemorrhagic pneumonia have decimated its populations with the consecuent reduction of carnivore numbers. The two jewels of the Iberian fauna, the imperial eagle and the lynx have suffered the most. After years of declining, both species are seeing their numbers increased. And with them, rabbit numbers grow as well. Long life to our dear rabbit.

CONEJO CAZADO
El conejo es un animal clave para muchos mamíferos y aves de la Iberia mediterránea. Están en la base de la cadena alimenticia para la mayor parte de los carnívoros ibéricos. Aves de presa, linces, gatos monteses, lobos, zorros, todos cazan y comen conejos. La introducción por el hombre de plagas como la mixomatosis y la neumonía hemorrágica han reducido mucho sus números con la consecuente bajada en el número de carnívoros. Las dos joyas de la fauna Ibérica, el águila imperial y el lince han sido los que más lo han sufrido. Después de años de reducción, por fin ambas especies han visto incrementarse sus números. Y con ellos ha aumentado también el número de conejos. Larga vida al conejo.
Miss Minnie enjoys an afternoon in the garden and knows exactly how to strike a pose for the cameraman.

No killer bunny here, this cute little dwarf rabbit is only about the size of a gopher. It exists at the bottom of the food chain, only its prolific rates of procreation ensure its survival. The green stuff it is sitting on is apparently called "grass", something we haven't seen up here in Great White North for 2 months, and it will probably be another 4 months until it appears again.......
Out taking pictures this morning with my new lens. We have a lot of rabbits living on our property, and they are not at all afraid of people.
