Today while walking the dog there was some sort of small traps dotted about the hedgerow. There was a piece of plastic bag used as a marker and a numbers on the box's. There were about twenty in all, about a metre apart and they were about 5ft up into the hedge. They looked like a mouse trap with bedding in one end. There was also some bait in a hollow stick as we investigated one of the traps a pellet dropped out. Does any one know what these are and why they are in the hedge. Is it a wildlife survey or something. Or something more sinister.
