A promotional image inviting people to spot wildlife and classify camera trap photos for a chance to win a camera trap. Three camera trap images appear on the right side, showing an Eurasian Jay, a Fox (night vision shot), and a Pheasant in a garden. The Garden BirdWatch logo appears in the bottom left corner alongside the MammalWeb logo.
๐ฆ Help classify wildlife photos from garden camera traps and win a camera trap of your own! ๐ฆ
GBW & @mammalweb.bsky.social need your eyes to spot #birds & #mammals in over 180k image sequences.
Every classification = 1 entry into the prize draw!

Sammy Mason and Russell Hill made it to Liverpool to collect the National Biodiversity Network Group award for wildlife recording, 2024, on behalf of all of our contributors.
Members of the MammalWeb team were at the County Durham Environment Awards ceremony to collect the Volunteer Group of the Year award on behalf of all our contributors. Left-to-right: Phil Stephens, Graham Smith, Jim Cokill, Sammy Mason and Russell Hill.
Being new to Blue sky gives us a chance to emphasise that all our wonderful contributors have been recognised by not 1 but 2 awards over recent months! Thanks to @nbntrust.bsky.social for the 2024 group award for wildlife recording, and @durhamcouncil.bsky.social for the 2024 volunteer group award!

Thank you to everyone who commented on our camera trap quiz yesterday! This was a tricky one, it looks quite rat-like but the size of the rodent and prominent ears point towards it being a wood mouse. Come back next week for another #cameratrapquiz !

As it is Wednesday, it's time for another #cameratrapquiz!
Can you identify which species is lurking in this #cameratrap photo?
Let us know what you think and the answer will be revealed here tomorrow! #MammalWeb #Mammals #CameraTraps #CameraTrapping #NaturePositive
It's time for a #MondayMammalFact, and this week's is about sea otters!
๐ฆฆ#Seaotters have got pockets of baggy skin in their armpits, in which they store foraged food and their favourite rock. This rock is used to crack open hard-shelled prey, including #clams and #molluscs!๐
Well done to anyone who guessed Pine Marten for this week's #cameratrapquiz! This particular set of camera trap snaps is from a study in the forest of Dean, in which camera traps were baited with eggs ๐ฅ.

Even though it is no longer Monday, it's time for the weekly #mondaymammalfact! #Hedgehogs protect themselves from #predators by smearing #poisonous plant substances all over their spines.
#Selfanointing has been observed in hedgehogs so young that their eyes haven't opened yet!

It's #NationalMammalWeek and this years theme of 'Recording Mammals' is very important to us here at MammalWeb, so to celebrate we have partnered with @Mammal_Society for a very special edition of our #CameraTrapQuiz with a chance to win a footprint tunnel!

Todayโs #mondaymammalfact is about one of most threatened mammals, the Wildcat! Wildcats came to the UK from Europe over 9,000 years ago when they were still connected by land, and have remained an isolated population since.

Itโs the first Monday of #brocktober so for our #mondaymammalfact weโre celebrating badgers! The word badger only dates back to the 1500s, before this they were called โbrockโ or โbroccโ which comes from the old English name for them. Place names like Brockhampton come from this
