Re question 48
I think the animal involved is obvious but what is the collective term relating to eyes that didn't water - or am I missing something or being incredibly dim?
It is a colony of rabbits. One might alternatively refer to a bury, drove, flick, kindle, leash, nest, trace, warren or wrack of rabbits, but not a down; a downland is an area of open chalk hills. HTH.
