hi fishface every year when the local farmer ploughs and works the fields we get a large increase in the rat population with vermin control we keep the numbers down(there is no infestation due to hens)you should get your facts right before placing inaccurate reports on the forum as to the trees only ones posing a danger to anglers will be felled if you wish to discuss the hens or any matter please call at the cabin any afternoon cheers andygas
