Unfortunatly the deer rut was cancelled but 4 people did turn up at 8.00am in the mist and rain to find only a few signs of deer in the area and no sounds of the rut.



At 10am we meet for the real event small mammal traping at Rudyard lake.

A good turn out including 7 new members attracted by newpaper articles.


The live trapping found mostly wood mice and bank voles and we all discovered that wood mice really swim as those released jumped into the nearby brook and swam across to find cover!
