    John's Mammals 2020

    It's the GUC at Wilstone. I do go there regularly at this time of year for W-l Damselfly & Scarce Chaser that are there. I had heard of Mink being present there & have since found out one was seen along the same stretch a week before I went.

    John's Mammals 2018

    Lucky enough to see the River Thames Beluga this afternoon. Not something I expected to see in UK waters let alone this far south. I've now seen Beluga & Northern Bottlenose Whales in this one river. Unbelievably lucky for me & hopefully a better outcome for the Beluga than for the BNW.

    Those of us that made the trip up to the Shiant Islands in 2013 to see Black Rats were lucky we decided to do so as the Islands are now officially rat free. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-43242141

    Turtle sp. in Enfield (London)

    A lot of the ponds & a few slow moving rivers near me have terrapins in them. I was just shocked to see something this large in Greater London.

    Turtle sp. in Enfield (London)

    I was out today & saw the terrapin basking on the tree trunk. When I returned with my camera this brut of a turtle had joined it. Can anyone please confirm the ID of it? Cheers, Simon

    Ringed Seal in Devon

    As far as the E F-t Bat is concerned the Isle of Wight Bat Hospital have said on FB that they will not be releasing it. They posted an article saying that after the 4 month quarantine it will be kept at the hospital as it's unclear wether it would survive British conditions. Not sure what the...
