When I saw a rabbit sitting bolt upright in the middle of the road I wondered why it was behaving strangely, on hearing me approaching it hopped away into the hedge. The fox leapt out of the opposite hedge doubtless expecting to ambush the rabbit, only to find me bearing down on it. The sight of it skiddin...
