There were a lot of Scrub Rabbits out early in the morning which I'm told is a good sign of a healthy ecosystem. This one was near the mountian bike trails and was unperturbed by my presence.

“Time spent amongst trees is never wasted time.” –Katrina Mayer
The Rabbit was introduced to the U.K. by the Romans in the 1st century as a source of food and fur. Some time after this a number of animals escaped to form a wild breeding population , the Rabbit is now accepted as a indigenous species. Rabbits are now widespread throughout Britain and Ireland, but are absent from A few smaller Scottish islands. Rabbits can be found almost anywhere they can burrow with the most suitable areas being banks , woodlands edge and hedgerow. The rabbit has long ears without black tips , about the same length as it’s head , and long hind legs; its colouring is sandy and less reddish than brown hare. The eyes are brown and lighter in colour than it’s cousin the Hare. Body length is around 40cm and they weigh between 1.2 – 2kg , the male is usually heavier and larger compared to the female.

A ginger rabbit with a white collar? Wonder if this an escaped pet. It is certainly not the colour of your usual feral rabbit.
The yellow blobs are oof wattle flowers... I was shooting between the branches of a wattle bush.
