Off on a tangent, but dead rabbit freshly killed (not by me) on Moss Lane, WLW
Re: Small mammals
Third wood mouse in new location -shows they are abundant -unless it's the same one.

Re: Small mammals
Hi Paul,
I use to mark moths from the trap with a small dab of nail varnish, this was to determine if the moths came back to the traps the night after.
It would work for your small mammals ( if it's legal) Have fun asking for nail varnish in the shop

Re: Small mammals
Not many people report house mice so thanks
Re: Small mammals
Hedgehog reported from neighbour's garden -they are obviously around but numbers appear to have fallen (as the local/national picture suggests).
Last trap caught only slugs!
