Very cold day. While sitting in dining room it started to snow! But then it cleared a bit and I thought why not. Do Waterloo Line. Have not done it for a while. And I did re lure all traps with fresh peanut butter not long ago. So good time to check.
 
When I get down to Central Station and check T3 it had a possum! Number 33 for that trap!! Then on I go over stile and get to D41. It was triggered and it had a rat! The first rat for that one since deployment in August last year. Then I go to D42. Triggered again and had another rat! Then I get to D43 and yet again triggered and another rat. What a good day this was going to be. Alas it was all down to T45 where I turned back.
 
Then I go back over stile and check other traps on Central Station and T5 had another possum! So good day.
 
In between I had to re deploy two traps that the lumberjacks had moved. They were just by the walkway. So one I put a bit further down into bush, T41 and the other I moved further this way also in the bush a bit. T40. So have to see what happens now. Maybe good places.
 
Tomorrow heavy snow forecast. Have Dr Who scheduled to come out and deploy traps. But I do not think it is going to happen.
