Rat/Stoat Trap Update

Room 1 went down to our Rerenga Awa to check on our traps. We were gobsmacked to discover something (or someone) has eaten (or taken) the bait station. We didn’t think plastic would be so tasty but we know rats eat anything. So we put in a new bait station and rebaited the trees to lure the pests to our traps. Not nearly as muddy down there as we hoped after this weeks rain - just shows how dry it’s been.
