Aliens . 

We now have ours in the field where the sheep were stolen.  Shame it hasn't got a rifle attached to it. 

When we tried to photograph the barn owls, we only ever got them returning to the nest box as they flew out too quickly  for the camera to catch them.  Is there a way of making the trigger time shorter?

It did get triggered last night but think it might have been wind as nothing to see. Here's the eyes I got on the first night:



Any ideas?

That's Uncle Bulgaria.

Well, I can definitely confirm that it's not a badger...




Looks like a pair at least, unless it was stalking a cat?

I may very well have the fox in the morning.

Here's the old fox trap set out in the fields.









Last night, the stinky old bait definitely got its attention. It was pretty windy here last night and even though the wind had managed to set the trap off, the fox still managed to skin the manky old chicken and drag it to the corner from outside the trap.









He'd dug underneath the trap to get at the bait.









So the first thing that I did was to move the chicken back to where it had started from and then block the tunnel with some nice prickly gorse.














I've set my trail cam so that I can see what happens tonight.









and also reset the fox trap.













The trap and the trail cam in situ.









Depending upon if you're on my side or the foxes, its fingers crossed for tonight.

Here are the cam pictures from last night. I think that I may have left some scent around the trap. The fox certainly didn't go towards the entrance but looked to be eating something. I don't know what you think, but I don't think that its the same fox from earlier in the year.





























Here come the ducks, it was good job they didn't arrive a few hours earlier. :shock:

I post most of the footage I get on the Facebook page for where I work:

Lots of foxes, roe deer and the occasional wood mouse!
