I saw a rabbit the other day which got me thinking, it's been about 2 years since I last saw a rabbit. There used to be plenty around here but now they are nearly completely gone, possibly due to a disease called RHD.
Is it the same with everyone else or are rabbits still common in your area?
-
we had some youngsters in the summer, but they're the only ones I've seen this year.
-
We are still overrun with them. Ours have liver fluke and are a right pest.
-
Not a common sight in North Lincolnshire these days either. Apart from the little bugger that's eating me brassicas. :rant:
-
Plenty in Norfolk. I'll give them a map and point them North!!
-
Lots here in West Suffolk too. Hares seem to be increasing locally as well despite a recent news story of a disease they seem to be catching elsewhere in Suffolk and Norfolk.
-
Very few here in North Nottinghamshire. Saw one in the garden in the summer, but have never seen any in the fields in 11 years.
-
I never saw any here until the coal trains stopped running to Longannet power station - over the summer they have raided my flower and vegetable beds. Damned nuisancees - but at least the noise pollution is gone - for the moment - till they start building electric trains up there :innocent:

I work on an industrial estate and there are loads because there are no predators around there apart from the odd lorry.
