Well at least they didn't move about! I hope you got the same total each time, Francis! :lol:
Of course not - they increased every time I looked!

Right now I can see two puffins next to three large rabbits in peaceful co-existence. 8)

A puffin has arrived and is looking round as if to say, "Who's island is this anyway?" I wonder what happens when a puffin and a rabbit meet in the same burrow. :D

We have tiny little rabbits living under the garden house in our backyard. Sometimes they climb under the fence and sit on the lawn between kitchen and garage and I can watch them sitting and munching on grass for a while (they don't care for carrots, I've tried feeding them baby carrots a few years ago).

When we walk Cody early in the morning before 6 a.m., we usually see two or three cats, up to a dozen squirrels, lots of birds and 3 or 4 tiny rabbits. I really wonder what makes these Burhou rabbits so large? :?:
Maybe the grass on Burhou is more nutritious?

Sorry, John, I didn't discover your message before 28 minutes were gone, but I still was able to watch one big rabbit. I think he would be large enough to scare Timmy away. :wink:

I notice the puffins are still in evidence! Wonder how much longer they will be around.

Francis, good to hear from you :)!
I haven;t checked the puffin cam in days. Usually at this time of the year the weeds are growing so tall that the lens of the web cam is covered and no puffins can be watched.
