I'd posted it earlier, or so I thought. But it's a way of keeping the otter from the pond.

Have you had success with it?

How much do you use, and how often do you need to reapply?

Have you any condiment based solutions for badgers 🙏??

Got it, the idea, from a few of the pond/fish sites.

Badgers are a complete nightmare. They come in the garden and dig up the lawn looking for earthworms, leather jackets etc

The only thing I've had any success with is human male urine. At least it gives me an excuse for a couple of beers

I'm guessing that other male urine would work but the human stuff is easier to collect for me

Yes I've heard that is supposed to work quite well.

I'm afraid I've resorted to electric fence as i've got fairly large areas to protect.

Which could have other 'interesting' effects if a male of the species was having a wee in that area and got a steady stream going onto the fence itself

The BBC Natural World Series have had some excellent episodes on otters, beavers, stoats & weasels.

Good news

Lock down should give us all, an excellent opportunity to brush up on our beaver nollige

I've seen the effects, we were coming back from a country pub (back in the days when drink driving wasn't unacceptable) when the driver of the car (Billy Moore) had to stop for a wee. It knocked him off his feet, I can still see him lying on his back still peeing like a fountain.

Oh dear - one shouldn't laugh.

We all did (I think there were 7 of us in his car at the time)

Edit - Most of us were also having a wee but Bill decided he could get his over the hedge and into a field.

Yes I was already aware that the phrase 'p*ss*ng competition' does have some basis in reality..

Yep he did claim to be 'top pisser' as he aimed the stream over the hedge. 🤣

Another visit last night @ 9:15pm.
Having said that we would let the otter have the last couple of fish, we were struck with pangs of guilt and reinforced the defences further.
We appear to have temporarily flumoxed the blighter!

Did he get renamed Bob 'The Electric Eel' - after that shocking incident

It was his car.
