We in Fife are a hardy lot trying to dig holes for fence posts for our Allotment in Dunfermline.Its bad enough when the ground is soft never mind when it’s frozen but hay ho 27 post later we are starting to get the hang of it !!!!
We the motley crew (5 in number) recently had a trip to Blairadam Forest working with a Ranger and a Red Squirrel Officer checking squirrel tunnels,this consists of a 12″ long plastic tube approx’ 3″ in diameter with a piece of double sided sticky tape at each end of the tube and bait in the middle.The idea is when the squirrel enters the tube it leaves some hairs behind on the tape and these hairs can be identified for Grey or Red Squirrels.
