Bloody loads of rabbits here.

Marlow is just over the M40 from me - it's our posh neighbour.
The Kites have done so well since being reintroduced here in the Chilterns 30 years ago they've spread far and wide. Although they will swoop down and take a baby rabbit that's not paying attention (hence the signs in Marlow and other places nearby) they keep away from people. Gulls are far more likely to go for your picnic.
There may be more rabbits about but we rarely see squished ones on the road around here. The Kites and the increasingly huge numbers of Corvids (jackdaws, magpies and Jay's mainly) are very good at cleaning it all up...
