Hi all,
Sorry about the delay in reply.
Anne: Yes that is a ferret (very much alive!) he is being fitted with a locater collar (or Ferret Finder Mark 2 a British product made by a co. called Deben) we use the ferrets to flush rabbits
from their warrens (and other spots) to be caught in either purse or longnets.

9.3:Sir you are right I should explain, I work as a vertabrate pest operative, specalising in non
poison control methods, ie, trapping,netting etc altohugh I do do some bait and fumigation work.
I conduct work for a variety of government and non government bodies as well as private individuals.
I also do a couple of teaching stints for the State technical college and conduct workshops for local conservation groups on feral animal control.
The pictures really are, for me a day at the office! So I am truely blessed in doing what I love.
The first picture shows me carrying a long net and catch. I shall pop up some more pics if anyone is interested.
Many people think ferreting etc can not be used to get control of rabbits, this is erroneous.
It can not be used to achieve control if practiced in the wrong place by people who don't know what they are doing. We are frequently used by enviromental groups and people with revegetation schemes
where the so called "reccomended" practices of poisoning or gassing would be ineffective or be more
harmful than the rabbit eg whats the point in gassing a warren which contains Sand Goannas and rabbits? {Goannas area large native lizard} will post pic.
Hope that helps.
