August 2008 -Aqualate Mere

Aqualate mere was run as an extra event from Natural England. There was a guided walk whilst small animal traps were prepared. A real highlight was seeeing an Otter at 1pm from the hide.

Afterwards the traps revealed 18 out 40 traps had caught 5 speices wood mouse field vole bank vole and common shrew plus 4 rare yellow necked mice (see picture) also being caught.


The 61 members of the public who saw all of this really made the day.
