User's notes

Another sighting of a moribund rat, this time in a neighbour's front yard. (See Don Fletcher's comments under sighting 4439169 and Michael Mulvaney's 'Have you seen a rat' announcement). The rat appeared to be unconcerned by two of us standing close by and was moving around relatively slowly. It eventually disappeared into nearby bushes.
