    Spotted this link to a Heron dining out on an unusual lunch. Not for Rabbit lovers.

    No nothing yet Rolf despite there being six comments when I did mine, with six more added since......bet they receive hundreds in certain cases so the advice here is don't hold your breath.

    By the way Rolf, the rabbit meal didn't suprise me at all, don't know what the limit is for this 'monster muncher' but I'd bet it may well be something even bigger with the Cormorant running a close second.

    I don't have a Fuji Film FinePix S5700 camera anymore husband has taken it for work, I am in the learning stages. I can't seem to stay away from the computer.

    Poor bunny. But nature does a lot of things we don't really see.

    That's true Sitereh, to most creatures a meal is a meal, they don't really care where it comes from.
