Erythristic Rabbit
A
few days ago I managed to get some footage of the sandy ‘erythristic’ rabbit in
the scrub above the Freshwater Bay cliffs. The colour is caused by a genetic mutation
affecting pigmentation levels.
In
this video you can watch it using its paws as a flannel to wash its ears, and
another short piece of it feeding with its 'normal' sibling.
Hi Steve, Awwww lovely rabbit... I was in Yarmouth today, with a workmate, didnt see you!! Love the new layout, very nice... Thanks for the link to my blog, must update it again soon!! Cheers, Dave
Hi Dave, I thought the old format was looking a bit tired and....well, old! It's a shame the aerial photo doesn't stretch right across the header, though! I must try to get out today if I can and make the most of this beautiful sunshine! Best wishes, Steve.

We just saw a baby wild rabbit exactly the same colour. We live in Devon.
