Yesterday morning I found this little baby rabbit dead just outside our gates.
No sign of any illness or injury so think maybe another animal just caught her and left her body.We have loads of wild rabbits around here.
I carefully lifted her body with a trowel and placed her in some long grass in the field behind me.
Then yesterday evening I went to see her again and her little body looked so perfect I couldn't bear to think of what might happen to it so lifted her again and dug a small grave for her at the end on my garden.
RIP little one.
