Baby bunny nearly beheaded

Chris has been out this morning mowing the garden and then started the edges with the strimmer. Suddenly he banged on the door telling me to come out quick. Wondering what on earth was wrong I shot out to where he was pointing at this tiny bunny huddled in the grass. He came so close to being sliced with the strimmer, he was very lucky Chris spotted him in time.

You can see how really tiny he is when I picked him up to put him a little further along the deck out of harms way.

We had noticed one of the rabbits sitting on the deck and running round it only this morning – maybe this is why!

Snowshoe hare going brown

We have lots of rabbits and hares in the garden. The other day we noticed one of the snowshoe hares was starting to molt his white winter coat and replace it with the brown summer coat. He looks really odd at the moment.
