It was the only one seen by me during the afternoon. By the time we were finished setting, I had caught 2 m.c. and Augusta 2 also. These were all picked up and brought back with us. One of the ones I caught was thus found to - broken trap at the grid deposited in the same place. Lepsa Dashed ~1700. It was still sunny & warm so we increased vole activity by this time suggested to me then best to go to a few rice area.
