discobob Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Well, our bird problem has gone now (see my Siskin thread). Well, 10 minutes ago I glanced up from my laptop (in a teams call) to see a mink on our front wall!! Unfortunately by the time I grabbed my phone and turned back it was gone so no photo evidence. there is a small stream about 100 yards from us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbob Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Shame your wife disagrees but with the stream that close to your house it would be easy to check a trap daily and remove this pest before it kills everything along the stream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
