So - how do you trap mink on an uninhabited island?
Isle Martin is a remote and uninhabited island in Wester Ross, about 3 miles north of Ullapool. It is a recognised bird sanctuary but unfortunately, although people don't live there anymore, American mink have been known to make it their home... 🐾
Mink Control Officer Greg has been monitoring live capture traps with the help of the local community - and earlier this year caught two mink on the island. Our first captures of the year!
