almost a week with no eyeball and several days with no sounds or hound interest for hunting mutts these things are "above rats, we have terriers for that", divas
dear mutt we do not have a terrier, you bark at them and your princess fetched them back as potential slippers
to think gone would be nice but a bit longer to observed would be prudent

Fingers crossed DPack. Let's hope the critter has gone.
it may not have gone even if it has passed, still no sign of it so it is probably no longer a problem
it might have bought a cypriot passport and moved somewhere less hostile, it is/was the sort of rat that could find a wad of cash and some moody paperwork to improve its lot
first one to beat me in single combat for a long time

rebuilding a hotel and gutting a pub might have stirred a few up, mostly i recon it has been the lack of footfall ie takeaway frass, no food bins from restaurants etc in town
adding 3meters to the flood banks might have shifted a few and there is usually some refurbs going on
lockdown urban rats followed the food and became home workers in the burbs, now there are lots of them cos life in the burbs is sweet and has less paid ratcatchers than a city full of pubs, bunshops and restaurants etc
apparently quite common in a lot of places, there were london based ones on C4 news last night, the reporter was having a winston night in an alley with quite a few and a ratcatcher as a guide
on the plus side urban foxes also have less kebabs etc and find rats a tasty meal
the fenn is now functional, a bit AK style to obtain working order.
no fingers were broken(these things don't mess about)
it is now in the draws of doom with tahini and cream cheese
the target presented itself again, blooming huge, if/when i get it this one it deserves stuffing(not in a recipe sense) or at a minimum it will get a csi photo with a carpenters square
huge, never seen one that size even at fancy rat shows(most bunnies are small, traded ones can be large etc)
did i say huge
trying not to be a poor witness, i would go for twice average size for a brown rat, massive for local ones
for a rat on a stick stall, it would be a premium item
