Dave escorted us to a number of site explaining KWTs approach to habitat restoration and the requirements and of Dormice in the UK. We ended by inspecting a number of nesting boxes and the last one (phew!) turned up a small (15g) Dormouse, and what a cutie she was! After weighing she was returned safely to her box.
Also seen on the walk were a Common Buzzard, Silver-Y moth, Small Tortoiseshell caterpillars, numerous grasshoppers and bush-crickets and even some Deadly Nightshade. A fantastic and very informative morning, topped off by sight of another Sparrowhawk harassing another Common Buzzard as we travelled back home down Blue Bell Hill.
Ken, I reckon I could just about see your house from here!
