kenny14 656 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 That's a shame as the Mink will wipe them out sooner or later.. Sooner rather than later . I bet the crow's and magpie's have played a part in that Paul.. quite possibly and maybe the fooking mink. makes me laugh we have one of the largest water vole populations in britian and yet nobody is controlling the mink on the canals British waterways should be doing some Mink control. If not it may be an opportunity for a local person to get a bit of pest control permission along the banks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
