The Coypu Saga Continued…

I extended a single strand electric fence over the most recently chewed hole and plugged in the HV.

I went out to inspect this morning…





The wire had been moved upwards and the support posts twisted consistent with an ingress attempt. The witness sticks around the pond had been moved so I assumed success.


Around 9pm CET time there is a movement to the left consistent with a shocked Coypu running off.


Around 4AM the camera is triggered but no Coypu recorded. You can see the wire twisted up. The blighter came back. It is probably hungry as the river is in flood so no access to bank and river bed food.


Just before dawn getting a hurry up shock on the way out.


It looks as though he is learning to take the risk for the reward.

I guess a shock to the nose is worse than to the back.

I will put two strands across the hole later today.
