Colster Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) I was out last night lamping (http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/ind...howtopic=121398) and had my best bag ever at 28 and out of these 25 were Does and 20 of them were both in milk and carrying babies in various stages of development which would suggest to me that they are already on their second litter of the year. Is it likely that the harsh winter has given them an even greater urge to breed and breed again even when they are still feeding the previous litter?

al4x Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 could well be, funnily enough was in the pub the other evening and the pub cat had a well grown one of this years young and was tormenting it outside the window. Everything else this year seems very slow to happen from Bluebells coming out to leaves on trees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Yeh I have saw a lot of young rabbits already. On a different note; has anyone noticed any young magpies? I have noticed on a few occassions already magpies with no tail, which would usually suggest young immature mags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy Holt Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Hiya, On a different note; has anyone noticed any young magpies? I have noticed on a few occassions already magpies with no tail, which would usually suggest young immature mags. that's normally the Females, they quite often loose their tail feathers when sitting on the nest. BTW loads of half grown bunnies up here just now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
