Derbyshire
Wildlife Trust is currently carrying out a Harvest Mouse Survey. Records
of harvest mice are very good for the north-eastern part of Derbyshire where
the Sorby Mammal Group
have carried out their Harvest Mice flying squad surveys.
Elsewhere they
are more scattered. The survey involves searching for nests. However, if
you have records of harvest mice sightings, or cat kills in Derbyshire no
matter how old, please send these to Anna
Evans at Derbyshire Wildlife Trust.
