Warmer weather brings our furry friends out again …

Thanks to the seasoned world traveller TJ7, we now have the first ever Bunny Report : Canada !

Certainly it seems that bunnies in Canada are far more photo-friendly and inquisitive than their shy Australian cousins.

Thanks very much to TJ7 for his work! It really made my day.

My own bunnies have been in hiding for the last week – several times I’ve driven past the site, with no luck. Let’s hope the newly improved weather entices them back to my warm photographic embrace …

Lately the bunnies seem concerned with hiding in and around people’s properties. This makes them a little bit harder to photograph, as I can hardly move onto people’s gardens to get a better picture.

If this tactic continues, I may be forced to adopt new methods.

Sorry about the lack of new Bunny Reports, etc. I have been busy! Will continue soon.

11:45pm

A quiet night. Driving soundtrack: Globe: globe2 pop/rock.

Three bunnies were gathered together, but scattered when I drove past. When I came back for a second pass, only this one was left, and some distance away.

Notice mist in the air. This area is a natural basin between two hills, and regularly fills with mist; it can be quite spectacular some nights. Very difficult to photograph though.

I pursued the others ..

This one was hiding by a house. It ran away from the car and so I got out to chase it.

But finally it hid behind the bush ….

Sitting in the field …

Still sitting. You don’t know what to do, huh?

running away …

byebye!

Drove past the site. There were THREE bunnies there tonight. I even got what I think is a good photo of one, and was going to get more .. but then my damn camera ran out of battery. I can’t even upload it!

UPDATE: This is the best Bunny Report ever !!!

Finally, some good pictures. Next time they will be even better!!!!

11:45pm

Two bunnies nearly met a sticky end by running right in front of my car.

The strategy worked, however – in this way, the notoriously camera-shy bunnies escaped being photographed yet again.

In other news, petrol is now $1.25/litre, the highest in memory.

11:45pm

Bunny sighted and photographed. Now, this was at some distance and out a moving car window. But that is a bunny there, mark my words.

Finally! Also saw a possum standing on its back legs, but the photo of that didn’t turn out at all.

Will endeavour to get better pictures in future, but it’s a bit difficult to drive and take pictures. Click to behold the bunny in all its high resolution glory.

Visited the site, camera at the ready, but unfortunately no bunnies!

Very disappointed. Maybe next time.

12:20am

BUNNY SIGHTED! Hiding under a large bush.
Before I could photograph him, he ran into the darkness.
Next time I will be ready.

Around 9:30pm. No bunnies sighted. I await the warmer months.
