After a few nights of lashing rain, we decided to put our chicken remnants back out again to see if the wandering waste disposers still loved us. The bait went out at 23:15. I’m sure we had no fog or…

We had a left over chicken carcass last night, which I put out in the rain at 23:30. I think it rained most of the night. This morning the chicken, most of it anyway, was still lying on the grass,…
