Spent Monday and Tuesday at Acorn Ecology, in Exeter Devon on a protected species surveying techniques course.
Despite the weather cancelling a planned bat walk/survey the two days went well with Otter, Badger, Dormouse, Bats and all the Reptiles being covered off.
The reptile session included looking under "reptile mats" for the little critters where we found two Slow worms and a Grass Snake given the weather I think we did well.
The Dormouse exercise involved checking nesting tubes, to everyone's surprise one of the tubes contained a part built Dormouse nest (the tubes have been in place for three years and this was the first time one had shown any signs of occupancy).
