Thursday 11 August 2011

Ironically, although the weather has been too crap to bother trapping this week, last night was one of the warmest of the year at 16 degrees at midnight. It soon dropped to 12 at dawn though. Combined with a strong wind and rain results are never going to be earth shattering.
