Or maybe Peregrine kill cleaned up after by Rats or Mink. Whats your thinking mate? Cheers Arry Edited April 3, 2020 by Arry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Arry Not sure mate but that’s a very clean strip, and the fact it’s been moved slightly inland away from the water kind of lowers the chance of mink, otter predation, have sent a copy off to the biologists will let you know views and opinions when they get back 13 minutes ago, trigger2 said: Shropshire England mate.
