A report in our local paper that Scottish Natural Heritage is reminding the public to inform them of any sightings of stoats that have got onto the island since 2012 & so far this year there have been 21 reported sightings compared to 14 in 2012 so it looks like they are on the up which will have serious consequences for ground nesting birds in Orkney including game birds & wildfowl & waders , thing is will they ever get rid off them now ? .
