(Pic 1 - detail) Baby rabbit starts to feed on a thistle plant
Baby rabbit reacts after realising it has eaten thistle plant, Suffolk, Britain - Jul 2015
If it looks tasty.. and it smells tasty... then OUCH!
This funny bunny bit off more than it could chew when it tried to nibble at a thistle plant.
Photographer Kevin Sawford snapped the peckish rabbit near Ipswich sizing up the greenery, before taking a bite.
The resulting reactions of the wild rabbit made for this series of hilarious images as it threw its paws in the air, contorted its face in disgust and stuck out its tongue.
Kevin says: "I had been photographing a family of wild rabbits at their warden in the Suffolk countryside over a few days in the summer.
"On this particular evening this youngster started to feed on the thistle plant. At first it seems content with its meal but then realises the mistake it has made when it bites into the prickly plant. Its reaction is priceless.
"The young rabbit soon recovered and was OK but had learnt its lesson on what to feed on."

Home of Claudia Schiffer damaged by fire, Lawshall, Suffolk, Britain - 27 May 2014
Part of Claudia Schiffer's home in Suffolk has been destroyed by fire. Several outbuildings, a clock tower and former stables at Coldham Hall in Lawshall have been severely damaged. It took around 50 firefighters more than two hours to bring the fire under control after it broke out at the Elizabethan mansion yesterday afternoon. Luckily, they were able to stop the flames from spreading to the nearby main house. It is not known if Claudia and her family were at home at the time of the fire. The cause is also unknown, though firefighters have confirmed it was accidental.

Deputy headteacher Rebecca McCarthy said: "We were coming to the end of our sports day when we saw the helicopter circling around the field and getting lowers and lower. "The next thing we knew it was starting to land so we quickly got all the parents and children out of the way.

‘We need reservoirs built’: drought leaves UK farms begging for government aid
As crops shrivel in the fields, farmers around the country are calling for urgent action from the Tory leadership.
It last rained on the Euston Estate, near Thetford in Suffolk, a fortnight ago, although the 6mm that fell evaporated almost immediately on contact with the parched earth. Before that, the farm hadn't seen any rain since June, said Andrew Blenkiron, director of the estate belonging to Henry FitzRoy, 12th Duke of Grafton.
The hot weather meant winter wheat and barley could be harvested early on the estate’s 2,428 hectares (6,000 acres) of farmed land. But it also meant lower yields: wheat was down by a quarter, and barley by 10%, although higher prices helped soften the blow. The lack of water is critical for crops still in the ground - onions, potatoes, sugar beet - and for livestock including cattle and pigs.
Blenkiron wants to see changes to the planning system, to expedite the construction of water storage facilities on farms: "We need reservoirs built next summer, to fill up the following winter."

‘We need reservoirs built’: drought leaves UK farms begging for government aid
As crops shrivel in the fields, farmers around the country are calling for urgent action from the Tory leadership.
It last rained on the Euston Estate, near Thetford in Suffolk, a fortnight ago, although the 6mm that fell evaporated almost immediately on contact with the parched earth. Before that, the farm hadn't seen any rain since June, said Andrew Blenkiron, director of the estate belonging to Henry FitzRoy, 12th Duke of Grafton.
The hot weather meant winter wheat and barley could be harvested early on the estate’s 2,428 hectares (6,000 acres) of farmed land. But it also meant lower yields: wheat was down by a quarter, and barley by 10%, although higher prices helped soften the blow. The lack of water is critical for crops still in the ground - onions, potatoes, sugar beet - and for livestock including cattle and pigs.
Blenkiron wants to see changes to the planning system, to expedite the construction of water storage facilities on farms: "We need reservoirs built next summer, to fill up the following winter."
