the traps have been set since then , but have remained empty .
But between 9am , whnwn I was passing and 1pm , whne i was passing again , something has disturbed the trap .
And it looks as if something tried hard to get in to the bait, pushing aside the wire mesh designed to stop larger animals getting in .
And the trap has gone , presumably still attached to whatever set it off.
there is quite a lot of undergrowth - so the trap may reappear in the winter whne the vegetation dies back.
And this means that potential predators are still around , so I'd better reset the trap.
We did buy a spare Fenn trap - they are a decent size !
And the safety catch is an important bit of it - it stings bit if it traps a finger .
And then the tunnel trap is back in action
