Snares found in Derbyshire 05-23

A group of walkers found several snares in two locations on the Moscar Estate in Derbyshire.

Snare set on Bamford Moor

The snares, which were found on open access land on Bamford Moor and at Stanage Lodge, were inactive at the time, but were ready for use and still presented a risk to wildlife.

Both of the areas host badgers, some of which had been snared previously and rescued by members of the public.

A stink pit was also seen at Stanage Lodge.
