Several members of Shropshire
Wildlife Trust Whitchurch Branch, some of them also belonging to Shropshire
Mammal Group, have just completed a transect at Melverley Farm Nature Reserve
(see below) as part of the Mammal Society’s National Small
Mammal Monitoring Scheme. The
results showed a healthy small mammal population. Out of 10 live traps, 7 were
occupied by bank voles, 2 by wood mice and the other almost certainly had
been tripped by a shrew that had subsequently escaped by unblocking the shrew
hole. More
information about this scheme and how to get involved can be found on the |
