Coypu Saga – Next Episode

~ quantumdreamer ~ Leave a comment

On checking the electric fence I can see the point of ingress last night where it twisted the strands in shock..

–

—

I walked around the pond to see if the little bastard was still here.

I disturbed it…see the bubbles…

–

–

Fuck you human…centre frame…

–

–

I walked around the pond for more evidence…

mid-sized adolescent Coypu turds.

–

–

The little sod has eaten a lotus root

–

—

I made a lot of noise and hit the bank with a rake near where it was hiding.

This scared it off into water….

–

–

I left it hiding under the bank near the river. This is where they burrowed before.

After lunch I am back out trying to scare him back into the river.

Today the wind is from the North. This means a brief respite from all the wet coming in from the West.

So we went up to coast for a very brisk walk…

–

—

Out of season the light and visibility can be good…

–

–

The winter sun is low…

–

–

There is not much traffic but there are warnings for wizard children crossing.

There is a new campus to Hogwarts opening soon.

–

–

In summer many people get trapped on the islands by the tide.

The local newspapers often have news of rescues.

–

“Oh shit, we had better move…”

–

Cold wet feet…

–

–

Lucky escape…

–

–

A room with a view…you can’t get much closer to the sea than this.

Must be epic in a winter storm here.

–

–

Imagine the waves crashing on this…

–

–

Shame it was so very busy…

Permimeter Defences – Coypu – Badger and Wild Boar

~ quantumdreamer ~ Leave a comment

The first of the shagging toads have arrived in the pond. The start of the annual toad migration. There is an electric fence between the river and the pond to stop the coypu getting in.

–

–

One of the little buggers tried last night and disturbed the fence.

–

–

They are after the baby lotuses and irises.

–

–

Previously the wife blocked the badger hole in the fence.

–

–

They built a small set in our garden..

–

–

This is where the wild boars first got in…

–

–

This is the repair of the second place they broke the fence. I am due to do more fence repair this afternoon.

This is Gandalf the grey and white stray cat now a.k.a. Kidney because she leaves regular mouse kidneys and entrails for us as presents.
