I HAVE always considered Therfield Heath as one of Royston's greatest attractions.
The paths and shrub-land are well kept and the practice of sheep-grazing encourages a variety of flowers and rare butterflies.
One of my pleasures is to take my granddaughter for a nature-walk to enjoy the birds and bunnies.
It was, therefore, a considerable shock when venturing on our favorite path the other day, instead of seeing sprightly baby-rabbits scuttling away we encountered a number of dazed looking individuals and a few which were clearly dying.

One would have thought that foxes, hawks and the A505 together would control the rabbit-population without resorting to this kind of mass-murder.
