Rabbits under wood piles = problem.

Rabbits + (some) reptiles under woodpile = No problem?

I was interested to see on my blitz visit to Callum Brae that the very large section of an old euc which had fallen across the quarry fence has now been cut up and the debris placed in a number of small piles just a little further down the slope. It's an open grassy area, and no doubt this will encourage small critters (insects, reptiles etc) to multiply. It's an area popular with flame and scarlet robins in winter, and at times the dusky woodswallows, so good to see this happening to make it even better.  (only hope the bunnies don't see the wood piles as additional places to burrow under).
