Thanks Joe, they should be around all year if you are not up a mountain and it
freezes up! They tend to move nearer the sea in the winter months, but if the
food is plentiful they should stick around. Half the battle is finding out where
they frequent after that its just down to patience and lots of it :)
I live beside well stocked lakes and see him around the river every so often.
I’ll give it a go and put them straight up(if they’re any good).
Take note of where you see him, and put up some branches for him to perch on, overhanging
the water he will soon be using it, also a bit of fish food in and around the perch to encourage
the fish there helps. :) Good luck look forward to seeing some pics soon :)
