Here's a message from Ines (from which I note almost unbelievingly, that it's scientific name is Micromys minutus!! Sounds very un-scientific, although of course that's how names are established.
To makes things easier for those who are joining (and for those who aren't too), some info: Very general: https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/wildlife-explorer/mammals/harvest-mouse https://www.mammal.org.uk/science-research/harvest-mouse-project/ https://www.saga.co.uk/magazine/home-garden/gardening/wildlife/mammals/harvest-mouse Interesting details: https://www.mammal.org.uk/species-hub/full-species-hub/discover-mammals/species-harvest-mouse/ - and a delightful poem in this one, by an 18thC enthusiast https://www.rushcliffewildlife.co.uk/hm/harvest-mouse_nesting.html Recorded in Wilts this year (page 4): https://wiltshiremammals.files.wordpress.com/2020/03/wmg-newsletter-spring-2020.pdf- (Elizabeth Forbes) Comments are closed.

Young Nature Watch (YNW) is a branch of the Tisbury and District Natural History Society (TNHS). Our first event was on July 2020.
YNW is free for under-21s! Young people always have priority at any of our activities but accompanying adults are required for under-12s. Whenever possible, we will aim to split attendants into three different groups: - Families with young children - Teenagers only - Young-at-heart of all ages For adults, annual membership for the TNHS (£10) or a £2 fee per event (for non-members) is due. YNW activities are organised by Inés Lopez-Doriga and Izzy Fry (find out more about how it all started in Focus, p.27). Join our mailing list to be the first to hear about our events! You can also follow us on:
