An excellent turnout, with 8 members attending this extra session. 4 of these brave souls were new to the wood, and found out to their peril just how steep Hell actually is. Unfortunately for the only license holder present (Derek) we went around as one whole group with Derek running up and down between the rows. Overall 2 female dormice were found, one with two juveniles. 7 other nests were found, showing good coverage of the wood. Alongside the dormice over 20 woodmice were found, with 7 in one box alone. One member found a dormice box at the beginning of the day, took it up all his rows, looked after it during lunch, however then disaster struck. His box partner accidentally knocked the box, it rolled down the hill never to be seen again.
