2nd August 2006: Loynton Moss Mammal Survey


This was the first time SMG visited this wonderful site. Therefore we did a general exploration of the area, which comprises a good mix of different habitats. We found evidence of rabbit, fox, and woodmice. Whilst exploring the site we found large badger sets and some of us were fortunate enough to see a female badger clearing her run. On the way back we followed the canal, bat detectors at the ready and identified several species of bat; including Daubentons, Natterers, Soprano and Common Pipistrelle.
