We took a walk up to Ballyboley forest outside of Larne and found it to be a real Winter wonderland. There were numerous tracks in the snow along with feeding sign and scat of different animals. Here are some pictures of the day out.

The reddish coloration is where Rabbits have stripped the bark off this hawthorn.
This is where a Rabbit had used this abandoned drainage pipe as shelter, tracks led in and out . There was also some Rabbit dung (scat) left behind.
