Wild Wabbit

I was strolling around a local pond last week looking for Herons and Ducks. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this large Pet Wabbit looking into the water. It was very timid and I managed to get close up to it. I don't know if it was wild or belonged to one of several nearby farms and they just let it roam around.

K10D + Pentax 55-300mm all at 300mm f/5.8 1/350th 200ASA handheld.
Sorry about the black border only noticed it after uploading to
photobucket.

That is someone's pet rabbit gone walkabout I think.

That WAS a pet rabbit, soon it'll be a bird of preys dinner Unless Shim see's it again and takes it home

Nice shots Shim, but in the last one the Rabbit is showing you just what he thinks of photographers

Nice photos, looks like a French Lop Eared.

Nice pics shim, cute little fella

The wabbit was down at the Dam Cliff.

Two of the swans seven eggs have hatched, still sitting on the others or more like sitting at the side and watching. Took a few photos of the two that have hatched today.

Be nice to see your pics of the swans shim, may have a stroll down early tomorrow (weather permitting)

I'll post a few here tomorrow Cliff.

Here's a quick print screen grab off the SD Card.
Seems to be print screen that's adding the black borders
for some reason. I'll have to look into it.

These are fab photos. I love the pet rabbit shots as it's obviously an unusual sight compared to a wild one; gives the photos a great deal of character. My fav is the first one.
