Dear All,

Mink have been spotted in most waters in our area, notably Island Lodge but also the other lodges nearby. They have also been seen in Summerseat, near Greenmount golf course and in Burrs.

They are indiscriminate killers, taking out ducklings, goslings, and cygnets. Also, birds, fish, water voles and, like foxes, mink cause havoc in hen coops. They are non-native and are apex predators.

Traps will shortly be laid in and around Island Lodge. The traps will be checked daily, and any innocent wildlife accidentally trapped will be freed.

Bury Council are fully aware of these activities.

Kind regards,

Julie Southworth
