Way to go.
Are you feeding the birds with fat balls?
And the one that you caught?I'm beginning to feel a bit sorry for poor Ratty. Perhaps he's just a bit misunderstood and took a few wrong turns in his life, poor sod.
Yes, birds love fat balls.Are you feeding the birds with fat balls? We were and the rat just lapped them up. So we stopped and the rat has gone somewhere else.
If you get more than one rat at a time, an aerosol can smeared with Marmite don't half go up with a bang when hit with a .22 slug.
Or so I'm told
So, my dining room table overlooks my grounds and on a number of occasions whilst eating we've watched as Mr Rat trots across the lawn and has dinner his self, dining in the bots and bobs dropped by the birds from the feeders.
My colleagues at work are advising all kinds of rat torture and destruction, warning that I'll soon be invaded by 1000s of rats otherwise.
I'm a bit unsure. I thought you were never more than 6 feet from a rat in an urban environment. Just cos this ones happy to perambulate through the garden shouldn't earn him a death penalty should it?
