A rabbit eating specialist lynx
shouldn't be too much of a problem here. The eagle owl appears to have
reintroduced itself here, whether by escape or flying here isn't clear,
and is not proving a problem precisely becaues it is a rabbit
specialist. Unfortunately not too many rocky cliffs for them to nest on
in Buckinghamshire.


The Eagle Owl is not a 'rabbit specialist', although, obviously, it will
take them if available. Eagle Owls on the continent have even been known to
take buzzards, which prey extensively on rabbits.

There are probably plenty of artificial cliffs (tall buildings, churches,
etc.) in Buckinghamshire :-)
