    @7mmsaum

    Might have a few spare hours this weekend although the Magpies are playing at home on Saturday.

    Will give you a call.

    Cheers

    After awhile you realise the Pig loves it.

    Its that time of the year to get irrigation on young Apple trees, and its always a good thing- unless you happen to live underground



    Rabbits often dig in the cultivated soil as its easy and a source of warmth after the sun drops in the evening, the odd one gets carried away and burrows in for the long haul, and sets up house.

    During the day mum blocks off the burrow to protect the kittens and off she goes turning good grass into milk for the night time feeds.

    Walking the field first I had dug up three burrows and freed the young into the shelterbelt for safekeeping, it's probably not the right thing to do but I have seen many "families" survive this way and they grow up fast.

    If mum has covered the burrow too well then I don't see them and the water flushes them to the surface.

    Scooping them up I put them out in the grass to dry out

    Here he's shivering a bit while his brother looks on in the background


    I give him a lil pat which prompted some weird noises


    Here he's probably thinking " WTF is that, if I shut my eyes and shiver a bit hopefully it will go away "


    They are drying out quickly, I will scoop them up soon and put them in the shelterbelt once they dry.

    Its great to have them around the place.
