Yup, south coast, this is getting worse as the years move on. Holiday resorts now fine you if you don't close windows when you go out, we never had invasions before, not up nor down in coastal villages, they are breeding into enormous troops.
I love animals, don't get me wrong, breeding at this rate soon nothing will remain for small antelope, porcupines, birds. Urgently need some leopards on the prowl again, sadly they would turn their noses up at the accommodation on offer.
Your grand father must have been super angry, sounds like my late brother chasing them when being invaded not with a gun, but a big booming voice! Special plastic meshing across doors works somewhat. Fine mesh over windows is a waste of time they rip it out.
Who would have thought 35 years ago development would become this aggressive, everyone wants to life on the beach, plus have a mall close to hand for shopping every day of the week!
