There are quite a few of those little gits on the canal and the river not far from here. Believe me they are not an animal to tangle with. They'll tackle anything. I tried to shoot one with a 2.2 rifle at quite close range. He took the shot right between the eyes. All he did was shake his head and ducked into a drain pipe. I shot him later with a shot gun.

One of the most distructive little critters out. Who ever introduced them here wanted horse whipping the brain dead cretin. Cunning and evil and wanton killers. Mind would soon clear the rats out and that's for sure lol  ;D ;D

A mink devastated one of our club members young bird team - in broad daylight killing more than 30 in a matter of a few minutes, the rest of the young bird team were petrified for weeks

 

Did same with a former member of our club, one got onto his allotment started in the lofts at one end and worked its way through to the other end, killing every bird as it went. He reckoned it washed itself in one of the drinkers? He did get it, reckoned one of a pair living wild along the Westquarter burn at that time, escaped from a local farm.

mink killed all are birds in the 80s was not a nice thing all are lofts have half by half mesh around all air vents.

when i see lofts all open at the vents you can put your hand in. i tell them what happened to use but most do not think it will happen.

they was a mink farm not far from us and they was let out by some animal loves they was more died animals in are area rabbits and the rest was not safe have seen bloke that work with the mink and how the pick them up and shake them with there tales but not for me. my lofts are next to the river you can tell when mink is about by there dropping.

if i was you mate and you no they are around get some fenn trap set up in tunnels underneath your loft and set a few cage traps other wise mate as ive seen mink trip out of a strong gage cage trap in seconds powerful preditors hope they dont manage to get into your loft mate but they get through woods wire like a stroll in the park if they no theres an easy meal behind it me personally dont have no problems with them my terriers always running underneath my loft so keeps anythink that shouldnt be there away but would advise mate on aquireing a few fenns you be suprise what you catch in them i set 5 number 6 fenns up my mates he got a stream that runs down the back of his house back of that goes on to thousands of acres of local estate land caught the mink in the second day of the trap being set the day after my mate rang me up said mate you wont believe this he said theres more mink dead in the fenn's so go to show weres they are one they will always be others around

 

all the best.

Be careful what you wish for Kevin, these will do a lot more damage than any hawk if you get one in your area. They kill just for the sake of it and will wipe our your stock in one visit :(

Nice to see the hawk get a whipping :)

next door has traps set up all the time.  best thing for them is to put some fish out with some thing in it lol. they do not live long after that.

mink are not a big problem for us but this time of year is hawks so are birds will have to stay in.

the wire that i have up at my loft is very strong so they can not get in been there seen what happens.
