At noon put 10 hrs on top of the rocky knoll overlooking the walls. Also 2 steel traps at shallow ponds in the floor of the walls (some water flow through these ponds). One of these traps was in a rat-like hole in the sand bank. at 2:30 p.m. ran to double explosion mollin lines again: 2 audises and 1 also longi, and ran the single explosion (forgot if this morning): 2 also longi. Ran the UNTA grid at 3 p.m.: nothing. A few small birds scurrying about. Ran the two mollin lines again at 5:30: 2 more also longi in the double explosions and 1 more in the single explosion. This makes a total of 12 also longi and 3 Audises today; 3 of the also longi from the single explosion (= sheep had scent there exhaled), the rest from the double explosions (obvious rabbits). Evening wind, no wind, full cover. Saw 1 change between UNTA and Carcedon Bonte. April 9 Carcedon Bonte. Very calm clear, ice intact or midwall. Ran Wallin traps at 7:30 a.m.: one more audison in the double explosions, nothing in the single explosion. There are 12 traps in the single explosion. The traps on top of the graze knoll had 2 large dark Zidacums. The 2 water rod sets had nothing. The line from the grazed wallin up into the scrub had 2 Elgudentra spp., a Phrygilus, a great-sized sapsucker. No rabbits seen yet. Haven't heard the tunes since the first day here (the one I caught is 100 m. away.
