Rat having sticky rice for dinner after thoroughly checking out the premises for bobby traps. I think the camera movement, in the first animated sequence, is the rat checking out the camera having just circled right around the trap. The sequence: 20:26:37 Rat passes entrance, checks out camera at rear 20:26:55 Rat passes entrance again 21:16:16 Rat pokes nose in 21:23:52 Rat enters and eats rice in foyer (leaves 21:25:10) 21:25:42 Rat enters, checks alternative paths, crosses trap and snatches bait, retreats with it 21:33:14 Rat comes back, searches thoroughly for more food right through trap 23:22:27 Rat enters again searching for food (have to click on show all 7 photos to see this one)

Dead rat in trap. Been there for a while as I hadn't been out to check the trap due to the continuous rain. Probably Rattus norvegicus from the looks of remains of the tail.
