I'm on holiday on one of the beautiful Dutch islands called Ameland. It seems like this island is over run by Wild Rabbits and some of them are very willing to pose for me
Apparently there is a large population of wild rabbits on Ameland (one of the most northern Dutch island). They are used to human presence and I could get really close to this lazy bunny.
I normally don't bother with rabbits but he just showed up while i was looking at birds and the light was just right.
Roses are hardy, but their ability to withstand low temperatures mean nothing when faced with a hungry rabbit. These are practical animals that will eat first what they can reach, meaning that your rose bushes are more likely to suffer leaf loss and damaged canes or stems if attacked by rabbits. The blossoms are usually up higher on the plant, often out of a rabbit’s reach, but that does not mean the petals will never be eaten.
Together with my son I spent a week on my favorit Dutch island called Ameland. Apparently a large population of wild rabbits are living on this island and since they are used to human presence they are relatively easy to approach.

The rabbit may be common, but I've always found it a difficult animal to observe from close distances. In many ways, it's harder to photograph rabbits than deer. The slightest movement or sound and they will flee.
This little creature shares its home with many Puffins. Plenty of times I have seen them chase each other out of the burrows on the soft cliff tops of Fair Isle. I always place my bets on the comical Sea clown.
My attempt to capture kingfishers failed. Fortunately I found this cute rabbit near my car. I was happy that I didn't have to go home with an empty CF-card :-)
