Ellen: Yes. A brown rat. Not quite fully grow yet by the look of it. They tend to come off the nearby farm land looking for food. I have put a couple of packets of Rodex baited grain under the shed. It should be a stiff rat.
Groan - we' ve had problems in the past although they can't reach the feeders as if we have a rimless washing up bowl on the feeding station pole which prevents access. They used to move in under next door's decking - thankfully that decking has now gone! Only good thing to come of their massive rebuilding plans!
I had one going in the garage for the apples the other week so I moved them out and also put one of those ultrasonic gadgets in there. I've not seen it since so removing the food bank probably did the trick.
Thank you for visiting. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Any comment, or correction to any information or identification I get wrong, is most welcome. John
What is that, John? Is that a rat? Looks big!
