I was fixing the water pipe to our pheasant when in the corner of my eye I saw this mink walking around the bottom of the river bank. Its about 13 feet away from my car, the only rifle I have with me was my .223. I scamble to the car get the rifle, lucky for me i've got about 4 feet of bank above it so bang!

also had fish scaled on the bank of the moat.

 

If it wasn't for the fact that I know where you are talking about I would have said it was an Otter, as they have a tendancy to strip the scales off fish, but I have only seen this done on large fish such as Carp and there isn't a river/stream nearby. Herons would swallow whole.

 

Cats could be the cause as well, although rats will bit the heads off chicks readily.

 

Keep an Eye out and set some traps :drinks:
