Small Mammals - identification and surveying with Peter Pilbeam

This two session workshop will demonstrate the capture and identification of small mammals along with a range of related aspects of work on small mammals. The evening session will be used to set a variety of small mammal traps and the early start is to see what’s been caught overnight – the welfare of any trapped animal is of paramount importance. There will be a session on British mammals in general, methods of study (including owl pellet analysis) and on small mammal surveying.

Saturday 25th - 5pm - 6.30pm and Sunday 26th October 8am - 1pm
