It’s been frosty the last couple of mornings, it’s very welcome , hopefully it will kill a few bugs . Unfortunately the Maize and cover crops don’t like it and they will soon be unviable as a drive .

Might not leave much for the pot but it’d certainly hold it for a while while it hoovers the bits up?

I’ve heard them barking and there was a squashed cub at the end of my rd the other week.. I’ve got a bloody great tree next to me bedroom window with an owl in it most nights that goes nuts when there about. 
seen badgers running about too, they must pile out of the golf course for a bit of exercise when it gets dark?

off out soon for a go with a mate?

We have little owls here , and they go ballistic when Charlie is about . I’ve nailed a few foxes thanks to owls giving away their presence. 
         Good luck when you go out Si .

The only fox of the night, me mate had been baiting up but it wasn’t happening… I heard a pheasant kicking off so went for a mooch.

I’m jealous. Looking forward to seeing how you get on with it . The fox I had the other night, as soon as it saw the IR it was off . Thermal is the way to go , no glare back either .
