The Gorse is is full flower right now. We took a longish walk on the Estate following the services on Sunday. The young rabbits are running about to the great delight of two dogs who didn't manage (this time) to catch one although it wasn't for want of trying. Clio sometimes manages to catch one if it turns the wrong way. She got two last year. She makes a surprisingly clean job of it and I have a neighbour who ends up putting them under a crust with some herbs and lots of black pepper. Clio gets the scraps. Most of the time, however, they've got their noses in the grass and their backsides sticking out while the rabbit runs behind them and finds a different route home.
