[QUOTE="Jos Stratford, post: 3199404, member: 12449"] All went a little quite on this thread, so an update on a weekend when the list finally started to move again :) [B][U]March.[/U][/B] A bit of a duff month from the mammal challenge angle, not least due to the fact that I was in Japan for half the period (itself producing a selection of mammals including [B]Sea Otter, Pilot Whale[/B] and [B]Sika Deer[/B]) and the weather was far from amazing for much of the rest. Of the highlights whilst in Lithuania, a return to bat haunts allowed more views of [B]Daubenton’s, Pond and Brant’s Bats[/B]. Rather less successful, several trips into the forests south of Vilnius yet again predictably failed to result in sighting of [B]Wolf[/B] or[B] Lynx[/B], or [B]Mountain Hare[/B] for that matter. Also not very successful, a number of sessions trying to catch small mammals resulted only in several [B]Bank Voles[/B] and [B]Yellow-necked Mice[/B]. That said, I did not actually do that much trapping as rather wet conditions prevailed, hardly conducive to trapping. During the month, the only additions to the year list were [B]American Mink[/B] and [B]Stoat[/B] on the road to my land and, by way of signs only (numerous fresh diggings), [B]European Mole[/B]. Other species seen did include [B]Red Fox [/B]and [B]Roe Deer[/B], while tracks of [B]Wolf, Badger[/B] and [B]Moose [/B]were also noted, along with a lot of tree-felling activity by [B]Beavers[/B]. [B]21. European Mole[/B] (signs only) [B]22. American Mink 23. Stoat [/B] [/QUOTE]
