At Home

Tsuro the Scottish rabbit has made himself very much at home in our back garden. While he wanders all over the area shown in this picture, he's most often to be found in the pond, usually in front of the marsh grass on the far side where.... 

....he sits very comfortably, protected from the weather. There's little chance of him being bothered by the pond filling: it's been so dry here that it would take some extremely heavy rain for its water level to rise.

Tsuro spends a fair amount of time washing himself. Rabbits are cleanly animals which spend time preening their fur. They also have toilet areas away from where they sleep.

Tsuro's fortunate in that he has some very useful neighbours. The wood pigeons, from their vantage points on top of the fences, make excellent lookouts.

So Tsuro has settled in well.  There's only one problem, the inevitable one, and....

....I suppose we're going to have to learn to live with it.

It isn't just the aubretia, we've also seen him....

....having a go at three other plants, though his main diet does seem to be grass.

So Tsuro's welcome to graze on a few of our flowers - as long as he doesn't invite all his friends and relatives to a party or, worse, to come and live with him.
