Well not quite the centre but as you come off the M621 slip roadinto Leeds at the Meadow Rd/Jack lane junction, I have seen lots of rabbits on the grass at the Apex Business Centre which is opposite where Fletchers/Reg Vardy used to be. Although this may not be unusual in citiesI have not seen any in other parts of Leeds.They seem oblivious totraffic and pedestrians and don't seem bothered at all. I have seen Foxes in this area throughout the winter months and now rabbits. I personally think these sitings are brilliant,anyone any thoughts or seen otheranimals in town?

You can occasionally see grey squirrels on Park Place early in the morning. Park Square is the only obvious green space nearby, unless they've taken up residence in one of the buildings.

There was rabbits living on the small roundabout at the entrance to the White Rose Centre until about 12 months ago.I think the council must have gassed them all as I havent seen them for at least 12 months. They to were totally oblivious to the traffic flying past them. Maybe they were thought to be an accident hazard if people were watching them as they drove past.I thought it was fascinating watching them.

There were loads on Quarry hill before the Kremlin was built. Saw some pheasants down the Cross Green trading estate last week.

I've seen them near where MFI used to be on Wellington street - thats very near the town centre.

My neighbour was nearly knocked in to the canal by a deer on Redcote lane and they've also been seen near to Buslingthorpe Lane.
