Small Mammal Trapping

Tom with Harvest Mouse With Tom, I went first thing to a small mammal trapping event at Commons Wood, organised by Mark Hows and led by Peter Oakenfull. Our target was Harvest Mouse and was very successful, seeing about ten individuals. Also seen were a large number of Wood Mouse (20+), three each of Common Shrew and Pygmy Shrew, and eight Golden Plover flew over.

Late afternoon I went to a quiet Fowlmere were four Redpolls went over.
