...So when I went out this morning into the garden as usual with my coffee, I saw a flash of movement and heard rustling under the Oleander shrub.
It was definitely not the squirrels. At first I thought it was a bird, but when I went down to look, the rustling continued and nobody flew out. I didn't think it could be any other creature as I have wire netting all around my garden, firmly fixed to keep Badgers out.
I went inside the shrub as far as I could get, and that was hard work. Then I noticed a hole dug under there. As I watched, two baby rabbits came out of the hole! Mama rabbit had moved across the lawn. I just caught sight of her.
The babies were shocked to see me, and dashed away to run inside the old tumble-down wood shed.
I don't know how that mama rabbit got into my garden but she must have thought it was a great place to bring up her family. I also don't know how they are going to get out when they have grown!
I sneaked away to leave them in peace, but they are going to have to get used to me being around
I watched again a few times later on, from the downstairs toilet window, and saw them all playing on the lawn. They are very welcome.
Thank goodness I don't have a vegetable garden!
