Baby Wild Rabbit — Description
I was watching some ducks and geese when out of the corner of my eye I saw this little rabbit peeking out from the bushes. Looked like quite a young one to me. Enjoy!

Rabbit - Oryctolagus cunniculus
Body length 35-40cm

Introduced in Middle Ages but now a common and conspicuous countryside mammal despite depredations of myxomatosis. Often numerous enough to cause serious damage to crops and natural vegetation. Lives socially in extended warrens. Most active from dawn to dusk. Found in most lowland areas of Britain and Ireland.
