Red and white in tooth and claw

I mentioned the two white rabbits last month and there is a definite thought that they might be more vulnerable to predation, particularly from a Buzzard or Goshawk. This morning I saw a dog fox kill a white rabbit in broad daylight. I assumed that it was one of the two born last month but this afternoon I saw the original two in their usual feeding place and a further, smaller white rabbit also. I am now assuming it was one of the younger, less street-wise white rabbits that was taken. Th fox picked it up and took it down into the woodlqand, presumably as food for some cubs.
