Well after seeing a mink in the next allotment to me I thought I'd better do something about them before my birds met them.
So I bought a trap and put some kippers in as bate, The next day sure enough one big mink, so out with my gun and shot it then reset the trap, later that day one more.
I went down tonight to put my birds away and check the trap which had a small mink in it and while I was there I heard a big yelp so I grabed my gun and in the next allotment a mink was trying to drag a rabbit under his shed, so I shot it and the rabbit as the mink had ripped it to bits.
Two weeks back I saw some trout in the stream at the back of my chicken run but none since and I fear the mink have had them.
At this rate her in doors might end up with a new coat lol.
