Monitoring update on the Pilot Programme Traps:
Last week Steve and Sue Dawson checked all the traps lines and serviced the trail cameras as part of the Pilot Programme which begun one month ago. Some of the trail cameras are watching automated mayonnaise dispensers (stoats and rats love this) and other cameras were watching some of the Goodnature A24 traps. No stoats were seen on any of the cameras, however there was a total of 49 kills recorded by the 46 x A24 traps.
A further 40 more traps (mostly DOC200 run through traps) and cameras were also deployed which now nearly completes the Pilot Programme network.
