Did you see them in broad daylight as well?

A nice sight for such a place I would think, I rarely see them when I go out in the countryside and if I do they are off like a shot!

This was in broad daylight (well, a bit shaded by the building) - some are there all day, retreating into the shrubs if someone comes too close but mostly sitting and trimming the lawn - they seem to like the daisies particularly!

I have seen rabbits twice recently when I have been out, in a carpark of all places at the Amsterdamse waterleiding duinen. The carpark flooring was made of small hollow concrete blocks, so there was a solid base for the cars to drive on but they allowed grass and other plants to re-grow and self seed. The rabbits seemed very at ease with their environment.
