Maximus Ferret 2,065 Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) Iv seen one clear a stone wall fast little feckers I find that if you're lamping an area with stone walls and the moon is full and bright they'll often jump straight over or onto the wall rather than run up and down it.
