Excellent night, I put the trap on last night and got 0.......shows the beauty of being so close to mature woodland...

good night that

was it windy up there Andy? quite breezy here but still had 37 moths and the Badger was rooting round one of the traps so I think I lost a few there

Blowing a gale up here..had to hide the trap at the back of the garage , and then heavy rain....yes badgers scoff anything...

Edward Evans said...

same conditions as Martyn but no badgers here . it rained for 1 1/2 hrs here early morning

AndyC said...

Brindled Beauty , Nut tree Tussock or the Streamer would be nice or even Shoulder Stripe...

Edward Evans said...

Wishful thinking on streamers and shoulder stripes methinks

AndyC said...

No reckon you could get both no problem , SHoulder Stripe last year at Cromwell...

Quite a bonanza there Edward, great stuff. Far too windy here so I shut the trap down as it was getting battered.
