Insects and rodents

College - down the local woods, rodent trap setting in the morning then (empty) rodent trap collecting in the afternoon. Not to worry, the traps are baited and left open to encourage some activity to then surprise the little buggers at a later date!




A new addition to the 'top field' - Not too sure if this will work out. It's an insect hide (and not some strange alien creation) The flower pot contains a bedding of hay, two pipes protrude from the top and the whole thing is buried in soil leaving just the two pipers exposed. I've placed three of these in a soil bank facing numerous directions. They should provide a secure place for many insects - if they've read the insect book.
