Sound Lure Deployment: Site Two - One Week Update

 Rationale:
This site has been selected to run indefinitely with the existing electronic sound lure set up.   This sound lure has been placed inside a small tunnel trap, with the solar panel at the back of the trap, the electronics are inside a 3D Printed box, which is located inside the wooden structure.

This trap has been baited with peanut butter only - and other than the sound lure has no additional bait.    Its location is detailed in a video on this
blog.    In the course of the week of deployment there has been one significant rainfall which was of 6mm on the second night.

After a week of deployment the sound lure is operating successfully in a charge situation. 

In the week to date there has been one activation of the trap, which was not supported by camera footage and there was no additional evidence in the trap.   There has been activations in the area as shown by the photographs - the two shown here show a domestic cat and hedgehog neither of which interacted with the trap itself but were in the vicinity.
