Hi all ,

 

The local farmer called round for a chat the other night to tell me that a few ducks had started to nest and lay eggs on the stream behind my house so i thought to myself, "lets give these ducks a good chance" , as ducks are a rare sight around here.

 

So friday evening i went out with the rimmie to get myself some bait , a nice buck rabbit did the job. I then went and got my live catch and set in on a nice enclosed part of the stream where there was a track going through. So baited up and covered in rushes i went about and managed two magpies ( we have a lot of these around this year).

 

Got up at 9 this morning and went to check the trap and i was greeted by the spine-tingling cry of the mink. A big dog mink had taken the bait and was dispatched quickly using the .22 rimfire.

 

So all going well i will keep you all updated on the progress of the ducks. I have undertaken this as sort of a conservation project for the area so i hope the work pays off.
