Aer a cage trap in the van?

I'm sure some squirrels would be put off by the harrower trap. It's only when you use different traps, that you realise that some are better performers than others.

They seem to like that trap Arry

That's what I do. Any chance I get ill sit down and play a bit. Sometimes it's ten minutes, sometimes a half hour. Whenever I can fit it in.

Kanny, does it often keep you awake at night, or am I indeed going mad?

One thing I've learned, is once you nail a piece of music, you need to play it often, or you forget it again. Maybe it's just me? Thought that once you have it, you have it.

Recently took up piano. The wife thinks I've lost the plot.

O there's loads of articles suggesting that. Before that, the "experts" said, that the reds were light enough to go out onto thinner branches, that the pine marten were too heavy for.

Here's the thing though. Greys are also hardwired to be cautious towards pine marten. There are marten in North America, who feed on grey squirrel. So I'm not buying it. I remember seeing a yourube video one time showing a little experiment with chickens. They stuck one of those birds of prey kites/scarer things up beside the chicken pen, to see if the chickens reacted. They did indeed react, and took to cover. So, if domesticated chickens are still hardwired to react seeing a silhouette of a bird if prey, then surely a wild grey squirrel is still hardwired to react to the sight o

Looking at that price, doubt anyone is gonna bother importing any more of those. Good squirrel trap, but plenty more options out there.

Any idea why they stopped making them in the first place Sonny?

Is the Fenn rabbit trap the only rabbit trap that is still legal to use?

Yes, but more times than not, these types wether foreign or homegrown, are known prior to a major Incident, and given a slap on the wrist, when all the signs are there, that they have potential to doing something horrific.

Allegedly an asylum seeker

Many rabbits around you Gruffalo? Things of myth and legend around here.
