Know your Native Small Mammals with Ian White
Friday 19 Oct from 5-8pm, Saturday 20 Oct 7-10am and Sunday 21 Oct from 10am-1pm

Can you tell a mouse from a vole? What is so special about dormice? Do owls eat shrews? Over 3 days you’ll have a unique opportunity to get to know the different mice, voles and shrews, how and where they live, the difficulties they face and how we can help. The course will include trapping and survey methods, identifying who has nibbled the nuts and what an owl had for dinner. This course is run by an expert member of the Hampshire Mammal Group.
