Twilight Descends
Temperature +12. Mostly cloudy. Quite strong wind from the Southwest.
To the allotment in the afternoon until there's light enough to work. On the way back home we stopped by a grocery shop to buy some ingredients to cooking for today. It was already quite dark then and when we got home there were two European Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) together in our backyard barely visible (another of them at the bottom of the picture lit by my scooter light).
Feral rabbit populations in Finland originate from escaped or released pet rabbits. In the beginning of the 2000s, they began to spread all over Helsinki, and the population grew fast. In 2016, a dramatic turn occurred in the development of the rabbit population in the Capital Region. The population was growing again when it was struck by a rabbit didease. Before it they were many also in out allotment area. Since then I haven't seen many of them, but suppose the population is getting larger now again.
