Catalonia's farmers face threat of drought ... and a plague of hungry rabbits
With water reserves running low, Spanish farmers are also struggling to protect crops from thousands of rabbits starved of fresh grass.
With much of Spain facing severe drought after an exceptionally dry winter that followed the hottest summer on record, Alex Foix is planting vines in dusty ground near the village of Verdu in the province of Lleida. He hopes to have enough water for the vines to survive their first year, but that is not his only worry: it is the rabbits he fears most.
Unusually, the area worst affected by drought isnÕt in the south of the country but in the north-east region of Catalonia, where - in addition to a severe water shortage - farmers are facing a plague of rabbits. With a lack of grass and water, the animals are destroying crops, especially young wheat and barley, and eating the bark on vines and fruit trees.
There are 60 rabbits per Km2 while the maximum should be 6 per Km2.
Farmer Juan Samboda holds a rabbit caught on his land in Catalonia, where water reserves are running out.

The series of images shows the male protecting his nest while attracting a female admirer.
Wildlife photographer Roy Mangersnes snapped a colony of kestrels in northern Spain.
He said: "The male kestrels would fight over available nesting holes and then wait for the females to check out their options before they would select their mate of the year.
"There were 20 pairs of birds nesting on a barn roof in Lleida, mostly under hollow tiles."
The Lesser Kestrel is a migrant and comes directly from Africa to start breeding.
