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

Mammal Society website .
