Is this camomile?

Not sure if this is camomile, or just a big Daisy!

The only chamomile that I am familiar with is a much shorter, denser plant - often used as an alternative to an ornamental lawn. It also has a very distinctive, strong smell - much more so than eg chrysanthemums. The flowers are standard daisy-like and the foliage is fairly dense, ferny and a bright 'grassy' green. From the picture, I would suggest that yours probably isn't chamomile.
 
Doesn't look lile chamomile leaves to me. Probably another member of the daisy family but I don't know if other members of the family are rabbit safe.
 
Thanks everyone, I wasn't sure, and I looked at the picture in the 'sticky' but wasn't sure the leaves were the same. Off to the recycle bin with it, I only picked two small bits.
