Most people agree that mink need to be controlled and mink rafts as recognised as the most effective way. Writing in Shooting Times, Mike Swan shows how to use them.
Why we need to control mink
When we think about mink control, we tend to think about water vole conservation, but there are lots of other reasons. Most predators will ‘surplus kill’ given abundant prey, but mink are particularly strong on this, hence the mayhem if one gets among your newly released poults in their pen. Similarly, one visit to a nesting gull or tern colony on a little island is all that it takes to destroy the lot. They will also kill nesting ducks and waders, spawning trout and other fish
Ludlow, Shropshire
As one of the countryâs celebrated foodie hubs, Ludlow will become a battle zone for outdoor table slots now that lockdown has relaxed.
In a region famed for its wealth of local produce though, even low-key venues pack a flavour into every dish. Opt for takeaway salad boxes or cook-at-home three-course-meal kits from The Green Cafe, grab a box of nibbles go from Cicchetti Bar Ludlow or fine fare from Harp Lane Deli, where ingredients such as Amalfi lemons, nâduja and cognac are used as commonly as salt and butter by most of us.
Along with the medieval streets of black- and-white buildings, this town is particularly ogle-able thanks to the sight of Ludlow Castle (adult £8, child £3.50) rising above the River Teme in the centre. Itâs just reopened for tours.
