On The Verge

Another day of extreme weather, sleet and strong winds interspersed with periods of bright sunshine. I stopped the car on the way back from the animal rehabilitation centre to shoot this French/red-legged partridge. These handsome birds aren't native to the UK, they were introduced as game.

I then noticed what I at first thought was a rock on the verge. On closer inspection it was this rabbit kitten. It kept its eyes half closed all the time and wasn't very lively. I think it might be suffering from myxomatosis. :(
