Bigwig
A “foreign” gull who migrates inland from the “Peeg Vater” (Big Water, or the ocean) and, while nursing a wing injury, is discovered by Hazel’s band of rabbits. The rabbits help nurse Kehaar back to health, knowing that his help may come in handy during their journey. Kehaar becomes a good friend to the rabbits, and is instrumental in helping them scout out paths through the countryside, keep tabs on their surroundings, survive their conflicts with the Efrafans, and successfully rescue a group of does from the militaristic, dangerous warren.

Chapter 38
Quotes
Sights and feelings swirled through Bigwig as though in a dream. The things that were happening no longer seemed connected by anything except his own dazed senses. He heard Kehaar screaming as he dived again to attack Vervain. He felt the rain pouring cold into the open gash in his shoulder. Through the curtain of rain he glimpsed Woundwort dodging among his officers and urging them back into the ditch on the edge of the field. He saw Blackavar striking at Campion and Campion turning to run. Then someone beside him was saying, “Hullo, Bigwig. Bigwig! Bigwig! What do you want us to do?”
