​What a day! One possy, two possy, three possy, four possy, five possy, six possy, seven possy, eight possy!! Yes that is right 8 possums today. Unbelieveable. Guess what? Now we have made 400!
 
First one was in trap T9 on my way down to Waterloo Line. Then on I go towards the new traps installed two weeks ago. And there trap 51 had a possum, then next one trap 52 had two possums. Had to look for them too as a cat had moved them away from trap. I really have to look around the automatic traps as with those traps the possums just fall out and lie there and then of course cats can move them to a safe spot.
 
Then it was trap 53. Again the possum was under a bush. But that one I think might have fallen down there. It is quite steep from the trap.
 
So then I walk back really pleased with 5 possums. Little did I know. Got back to big tree paddock and up along bushline. First trap nothing but then T1 had a possum. From there I go to T3, down steep side and another one! That trap has now done 25 possums! Up I come again and then to trap T10 and there another mangled possum. So 8 in total.
 
Tomorrow weather permitting I will go and check the five new traps on Circle Line. Should be interesting. I expect at least five possums. Maybe I will take four more traps with me and install them up there as well.
