A Visitor

This rabbit has been hanging around our yard for quite a while now. We thought he or she was sick at first, but he looks healthy enough now. He lets us get quite close, but not too close, and he seems interested in what we're doing. If you enlarge the photo you'll see a tear in his ear. I'm starting to wonder now whether  he's  a dumped pet, people seem to like leaving  unwanted animals around the place, so it wouldn't surprise me! I know some pet rabbits look similar the the wild versions, does anyone have any ideas?
I'm just glad he isn't near enough for my cat Alfie to see, he'd think all his birthdays had come at once.

Awwwww! He or she looks like a wild baby rabbit! I think. Oh dear. Poor rabbit!!!
I do remember finding a baby rabbit once - he/she just froze - seriously very still - when I got closer and only scarpered when I went away! Oh good luck little rabbit!

Take care

Oh, that is just too sweet! I do hope the little thing survives. It must be a very frightening world out there for a lonesome little bunny :(

He's sooooo cute. He looks a wild one to me, but I am no expert.

I think from the length of its ears it is a wild bunny. It's probably sizing up your garden to see if it will make a nice burrow!
