Not to worry, they'll only be there to Easter, then they have all them eggs to deliver.

Could someone please tell me how long this little guys tend to stick around the nest before existing on their merry way!? I have no clue what I am going to do with my 3 dogs until they are gone!

I had one literally in the middle of my front lawn a few years back and even mowed around it. I can't remember exactly how long they were there -- a week or so? I also think a hawk found them...

If it is in fact a rabbit nest (looks kind of small to me) then the babies are weaned after about three weeks and can leave the nest at any point after that, but could stick around for longer.

Run across this at the edge of a pond. She was well comouflaged... I walked past it once and almost stepped on it before I noticed it. She was laying eggs, so I snapped a quick picture and moved on so I would not disturb her.

Here are a few shots of the baby bunnies. I think they are only about 1-1/2 days old ...

Mick, Thats a very nice shot and it's clear that he is thinking "lunch" as he stares at you.

Not sure if farm animals count as 'nature', but this sheep is on a tiny island off the west coast of Scotland. The hill beyond is on a neighbouring island.

I finally managed to get some shots of deer from close range in good light. I prefer the backlit one myself.

the sheep surely looks wild enough in that environment. I already disclosed that I like sheep, nice shots Andy.
