Probably a racoon. Live trap set.

Thought we had a problem with raptors, and we have, but to go into your loft and see that kind of carnage is beyond belief.

Just hope you catch the culprit Hal.

Regards.

It stuck its head in through the bob wires Then forced its way in. Just killed and ate the one. I truly feel sorry for her but it would have returned many times. Nature of the animals. Survive whatever.

Yes, pleased you caught the culprit, what a sad thing to have to do.

Lost for words regarding the whole scenario regarding protecting our feathered friends.

Also to get out it probably ratsed the wires with it/s hands. They use them like we do. Smart critters.

Maybe had youngsters on way up. I believe Hal that that is a constant fight.

Afraid in nature one species has to be fodder for another, used to feel bad about it, then on reflection I could think of no other way of having so many different species alive all at the same time, so it is a fact of life, and as man has interfered with nature he has had to become selective and a controller ( bad decision).

Never like to see any creature killed but ??????.

Think other countries will start using different tack ticks to gain advantage Knackered and trading being a main one.

A lot will depend on who comes out of this mess the best.

Those little guys seem to be thriving. They went down to the creek. Will use rat guards later on, same as we had on the mooring ropes of ships. On the landing board uprights. Usually stops climbers.
