    They fell into the 'spring traps for birds' category which was outlawed in 1904 OTC

    I will be watching it John By the way LewisMac - the reason there are so few of them around is because they are illegal for use OTC

    Why on earth the GCWT insist on building those half tonne monstrosities for catching mink I will never know. Yes they work but they are completely unnecessary Robinson Crusoe and Man Friday wouldn't have built anything so big OTC
  4. OldTrapCollector
    Just squeeze it back together again - they were made to come apart. You can see how the other side looks so it shouldn't take much thought as to how it should look OTC

    I don't think so, they are almost perfectly round and not big enough either The grebe's eggs are not quite eliptical - so they don't fit shape wise either I still reckon it's a duck egg of some kind OTC

    It does to me also. Not a mallard though, but a smaller duck like a tuftie or teal. It is not a grebe's egg IMO OTC

    I have caught plenty of jays in maize baited multi-catch cage traps set for squirrels - maybe there is scope for catching them in a basic funnel ground entry cage baited as above? OTC

    Their necks are all broken and half heads eaten. Might even be a vixen with cubs - are any of them buried, or half buried? Or are they dragged into corners of the pen?? Did she see the culprit?? OTC
  12. OldTrapCollector
    Thank you OTC
  13. OldTrapCollector
    Most likely a mink or maybe a stoat Julia, this is a bit beyond the scope of a little weasel IMO OTC

    I also get tired of ploughing through the countless litters of puppies to see more interesting items - Since the 'swap' category got pulled, what is wrong with a two part option - dogs/livestock for sale, and general for sale Or is that too much work for the Mods? OTC

    Pheasants hanging for 2 weeks in the May sunshine :sick: :sick: And they are very much out of season unless they were domestically bred or RTA's OTC

    Cage traps have never been much good for rats. Fact. They are neophobic creatures and suspicious by nature. The very design of a cage trap goes against their heightened caution. Young grey rats will go in, but you will struggle to catch the adults. Try a couple of well placed and correctly set spring traps such as the Fenn Mk 4 and you will do much better for the same outlay. They are far more versatile too. PM JohnB for supply OTC

    I tried it a few times and am not overawed by it to be honest, it looks nice in your basket though! OTC
  25. OldTrapCollector
    That was the first water rail I have ever found to be honest, waited around for a shot of the bird but they're so shy OTC
