Thanks to Lawernce Oates Local Countryside Ranger for setting out the traps the night before. 4 wood mice were caught, all of which were young animals born this season. Entertainment was provided by a wood mouse climbing on group members whilst showing local people wood mice up close. One in particular jumped from the arm of one to the head of another before jumping to the ground. Exciting was the good number of harvest mice nests found on the site for the very first time. Nests were found in colts foot grass tussocks as well as the normal reed carney grass.
The afternoon saw the group checking out the rest of the site finding a lot of otter sprain some mink droppings, foot prints of rat, a lot more Harvest mouse nests and one member even saw a fox up close .
