The forecast was for
the kind of weather that no-one - man or beast - wants to be out in, so the
cameras stayed in my garden for a few days.
They survived torrential rain, slushy hail and high winds.
One camera was set by a
known rat run, but recorded only birds - the rats had been there before we went on
holiday. The second camera set by a trail
behind the shed also recorded only birds.
I had expected that these cameras would have recorded the cats that
frequent the garden at night - previous recording has shown that there are at least
three of them. But perhaps the weather
kept them at home.
The Mostela was
placed by a hedgebank, and was used by at least two bank voles, and a common
shrew.
A fourth camera
under a seed tray was placed a few feet from another hedgebank - the seed tray
held down by a brick. It was visited
regularly, both night and day, by a bank vole.
