Hi @Untidy, the purpose of the photo is to enable an independent person (a 'moderator') to verify that the record is of what it is claimed to be, therefore it needs to illustrate the features that separate that type of record from alternative explanations. I'm sorry but I cant see any features in your photo that would show the holes to be rabbit warrens rather than something else, such as a hole developing in part of the roof structure, causing the soil to collapse from below. For example rabbit droppings are always present near rabbit holes but this photo does not enable me to see if there are droppings present.

Apologies, Don. There were a few scrapings that I could see. I didn't look too closely because I'm afraid of heights! I'll try to make contact with the land managers and they can investigate more thoroughly.
