Useful identification for what we could be spotting in spring.

The black lump & brown lump in the field are rabbits. For some reason Croggan has a population of black rabbits.
Another rare one for up here. I know they are common in most places. First rook I’ve seen locally since moving to the village over 10 years ago

Re - the Black Rabbits. There is somewhere in Canada - either Victoria on Vancouver Island, or Vancouver - which has a large population of black rabbits- think it was in the grounds of a university. The theory was that they were pet rabbits that had been released and had multiplied in the way that rabbits do. They were a tourist attraction!!
