@Mice! Good job you had cleared them out in that wood. 👍

I wonder why a frustrated hungry grey hasn’t tried chewing its way in as it will have seen the tits flitting in and out it’s old feeder?

One male in loan trap- unfortunately called out to cull just before Sunday roast tea......! Total 1303

@Mice! Actually, I already had two missed calls before breakfast, one to reset a trap set off by a crow and another to pick up a loan trap. Yesterday I was welding a trashed trap.😡 Your wife is definitely a saint, allowing you to put tick ridden greys in the freezer! What are you doing with them- feeding ferrets?

Like a lot of people, I regard bitcoin etc as a pyramid scheme as there is no intrinsic value or based on anything other than supply and demand speculation. However can anyone explain to me why it didn’t all collapse years ago and is still going especially as there are now similar crypto currencies all competing for the same speculative market?

Sam, great set up and video.👍 mice, great report as usual - I have a confession- I was still asleep when you sent your morning progress text! By the way, Your wife must be a saint doing all the decorating whilst you go shooting (or didn’t you tell her!)😂 Ticks are a big problem round here - so many sheep and deer but oddly I have only ever seen ticks on squirrels once or twice and I am only a few miles up stream from mice’s wood and mice sees them all the time. Horrible things.

Hadn’t seen any this year, but in the last 2 weeks or so, I have caught 3.
