Sunday 28 March 2010: Run rabbit, run!

As Steve and I made our way back to the Stairfoot Lane car park at the end of the afternoon, we spotted a pet rabbit near the car park entrance. He or she was clearly on their own and lost or abandoned.  We put down our wheelbarrows and

gave chase.  The rabbit leapt through your reporter’s hands before hiding under a van.  Eventually six or more members of the public joined in, coaxing the rabbit with dog biscuits, calling to it seductively, and finally scrambling through thickets of brambles before the rabbit was caught and settled peacefully in the arms of its captor to enjoy a gentle stroke and tickle.

The rabbit is now being fostered by a new family.
