Thinking about seasonals, it's not long until Fiend is released upon the world. We know that there are plenty of you who look forward to our dark releases and Fiend is an absolute belter.

Water voles versus mink β€” Wildlife Groundswell Org β€œBelieve me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about….” – with mink rafts. ( With apologies to Kenneth Grahame)  29th January ...

I've been asked how @kernowconservation.bsky.social monitor for signs of Mink (whose past presence devastated already vulnerable populations) before releasing Water Voles into new areas of #Cornwall.

This article explains far better than I can...

Exciting news, we have breeding dormice in the woods we care for around Dartmoor 🐭

July and August are when dormice breed. They have one litter with an average of four babies. They then spend about six weeks in the nest with their mother. They need to feed up quickly ready for winter hibernation.
