Baby rabbits and baby nettles put paid to most of the last of my ferreting and heavy rain did for the rest, with so many rabbit buries flooded out.
As I walked the footpaths with the dogs, I saw signs where rabbits had been fighting: great chunks of fur kicked out and scuffmarks in the mud, for rabbits fight fiercely, using their teeth and strong hindlegs.
