Trapped!

So...since the demise of Branwen I have been baiting the trap again for the last few nights. The first night I also set up the camera but the only thing it captured was 50 short videos of the early morning ravens stealing the cheese!

I set the trap again last night but did not bother to set up the camera and as I walked away thought 'I bet I get something now while there is no camera'.

This morning the ravens were making their usual raucous fuss and the chooks were a bit vocal but it seemed more like their normal 'I'VE LAID AN EGG!' call.

Still, I went to check and as I got nearer it did look like the trap had been sprung but I could see nothing in it until I got closer. It was another feral cat...the stripy one I had caught on video before in June.

It was definitely not happy to see me and growled ferociously all the time I was carrying the trap down to the house.

I deposited it at the Council Animal Pound on my way to the Book Cave this morning.

That's one less predator on Thorndale Ridge...but not the one I really want!!!
