Catch Report - 04/04/12 - Farmland/Back Garden - Hertfordshire

Into April we go and the weather has certainly changed, with meagre trapping opportunities lately, I did bite the bullet and set it up last night, but when I got back from the cinema and as dusk was falling it looked increasingly stormy....shall I bring it in, I was telling myself, no it will be fine, it has a rain guard on it! I was still doubtful as the wind increased and blew the egg trays surrounding the trap all over the garden, they were brought in!
Still I managed a worthy haul including 3 nfy's Powdered Quaker, Nut-tree Tussock and Common Pug.
