Background: Way back in the summer I posted about an abandoned REW in the fields nearby. We made a bid on catching him/her but failed - way too much cover and not enough equipment. The owners of the field also tried to no avail.
Since then, my OH spotted another, only a few fields away. We now think someone dumped the pair on the main road, and in fear they scuttered in different directions.
They've adapted to their environs tolerably well, but cover is reducing now the leaves are dying back, and we worry about the exposure in terms of both temparature and predators.
Bother - gotta make a phone call.... I'll come backto this asap
