This was a very successful day in the woods near Loggerheads. In one wood we found dormice with young and in others we found several adult dormice. The new boxes installed earlier in the year do not seem to have made much impact with animals using either of the boxes (old or new) on the same tree. Numbers from box evidence increased this year overall. Furthermore, we had a chance to get some people more training for their dormouse license.
One dormouse got out of the box before it could be captured, allowing us a brief moment to observe it in its natural habitat. Can you spot it on the picture?
