Today, when I tried to photograph a rabbit resting under a small tree, a magpie landed 
in front of the rabbit. The magpie soon noticed the rabbit: 
|  | 
| At this stage the magpie had not yet noticed the rabbit. | 
|  | 
| A moment later the rabbit aroused the bird's curiosity. | 
|  | 
| The magpie was did not seem to bother the least when the curious magpie closed in on it. | 
|  | 
| Here the two are gazing at each other at very close distance. | 
|  | 
| At one stage the magpie almost touched the rabbit, which stayed put. | 
|  | 
| It looked almost as if the magpie wanted to communicate something to the rabbit. He did not appear aggressive, although I am aware of magpies attacking rabbits. | 
|  | 
| Then the magpie saw a crow approach, and decided to leave. | 
|  | 
| The crow landed and started walking, without showing any interest in the rabbit, which continued its afternoon rest. | 
PS
After the magpie "incident" I had a chance to continue my original plan.
Below is a selection of the rabbit pictures I shot this afternoon:







 
This is a great set of photos! I really enjoyed stumbling across your blog today - you're right that so much of what we see and hear is gloomy, so it's a great idea to create something like this. I hope you keep it going!
