The wild rabbit hunting season opens today and continues for the rest of the year.

St Hubert Hunters' Association wished a good season to all hunters and called for strict observation of the law.

The association said it would appreciate receiving reports of sightings of breeding birds for monitoring and record purposes, but such nests should not be disturbed.
