Save the dates for two special joint events with Wiltshire Mammal Group

10th August 2024 Owl pellet dissection marathon - Hinton Hall, Tisbury

Do you know what is an owl pellet? Join aficionados to owl pellet dissection to find out (in practice!) about barn owls diets, how to identify small mammals and help discover if we have a new species of shrew in Wiltshire.


12th October 2024 Harvest mouse nest survey - field near Tisbury

Did you know that the harvest mouse is the smallest rodent and also the only rodent with a prehensile tail in the UK? Help us find out more about the distribution of this possibly endangered mammal, and find out about its habits, how to find the nests where it sleeps and breeds in summer, and how to tell their nests from those of other animals.
