Sharp Rabbit - Cold Dopes
30 November
This is not the first rabbit portrait that I have posted in recent weeks, but this fellow (so far un-named, but it won’t be Benjamin) appears to have moved into our dog-free garden recently and plans to stay for the winter, as far as we can tell. He is very welcome, so long as he refrains from nibbling tree bark.
The first, rather pathetic to be honest, snow flurry arrived this morning as the light was strengthening to reveal three depressed “Dopes” (aka Mourning Doves), gloomily wondering why the water in their bath had gone hard overnight.
The doves pictured in half light, grouped around the frozen bird bath were in fact about 10 feet away from the heated bird bath I maintain throughout the freezing months and is usually a gathering place for doves at twilight so this year's group need to look around them.
Hope you added some water.
