We've lost lots of ducks through the summer to stoats .
They have been brought into the shed and have lost no more - but its not sustainable through the winter .
So we need a stoat- and otter- proof run for them.
The location is the same as the old one
- but I'll have to think a bit about access to the water in the pond but doesn't allow stoats and otters into the run.
So the first stage is to put the wooden frame
And ten its just a matter of going round and attaching fine (1/2" hole) chicken wire to the whole thing, sort out access - a door and a bigger removeable side in case we ever need to get the house out , and then go round and ensure there are barriers to them digging under the frame (I think large old slate roofing tiles, pushed down into the ground should do it ) .
And then do something about access to the water.
