Hi all, We raise mallard on our small shoot in North Wales. We have two ponds, one by a river and one about 500 yards up a hill from the river (provides a good duck drive). Both ponds have islands and are about knee high in depth. Ducks on the bottom pond were very agitated one day, and I found a headless carcase floating on the water. (See pic) The breast was peeled off completely. This pond was abandoned by the duck and they are all on the top pond now. I have now found two more on the top pond, again beheaded and floating, with bits of damage around the carcase. I would suspect mink with the carcases floating on the water, but I have no experience of mink predation and would be grateful for your thoughts We found tracks of a mink 3 years ago, and shot one. No sign since and no duck predation before this month. Cheers, Spitzer
