Nice one Mel, not the Man v Rat epic I was hoping for but pleased you managed to bag it so quickly. As said, keep your eyes peeled because where there's one, there are usually more

THE BOINGER BASH AT QUIGLEY HOLLOW. MAKING GREAT MEMORIES SINCE 15th JUNE, 2013.
NEXT EVENT :- May 2025.........BOING!!
A few years ago we had a rat-run across our garden from one neighbour to another. Wasn't unknown to see air rifles poking out of upstairs windows hoping for a shot
One or two got lucky, but one weekend we had the monster rat from hell doing the run. Nothing else for it, so I put some bait on the lawn, took the silenced 410 out of the gun cabinet up to the back bedroom window (so if I missed I'd only be shooting the lawn) and waited....
The lawn was safe- the Rat got it - Big bugger ! The wife jumped out of her skin ( I had to shoot over the conservatory...) but the neighbours were delighted.

Mel, We had a rat mopping up the seed from below the bird feeder, I bought two cheap rat traps and just baited them with seed, Got the little sod although the trap was so light it only gave the rat a glancing blow..
It was enough to knock the bugger out cold though and blood was coming down it's nose (It was in the middle of the day!) The edge of the sweeping brush finished the job whilst Ratty was out of it!!
Next time i'll stick some steel plate under the traps!!
I removed the loose seed feeders as the birds used to throw the stuff all over, No more rats!!
