That's fantastic Bella, thank you for taking part! It doesn't strictly complete, it's an ongoing wildlife recording survey so just as regularly as you can manage :)

You wouldn't consider rabbits as a species of conservation concern but the most recent review suggests there's evidence their numbers are declining. Not beloved of gardeners BUT rabbits are a reminder that we shouldnโ€™t be complacent about a wild species. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Dormice are rare and a protected species which means you must have a license to disturb or handle them. But, admiring them from your garden bird feeder doesn't require anything at all! ๐Ÿ˜

Dormice might only be tiny but they have a big appetite ๐Ÿ’ Their diet changes with the seasons, helping them make the most of whatever nature has to offer.

This dormouse was captured on camera by supporter Camilla Roverts, grabbing a cherry for its tea!

But young dormice develop rapidly under their motherโ€™s care before becoming increasingly independent. After about four weeks, young dormice are ready to be weaned, but they often stick close to mum for another few weeks while they learn the ropes.

Squeak! ๐Ÿ˜ Summer is the season for young dormice ๐Ÿญ They're born tiny, pink, hairless and with their eyes closed, we call them "pinks". The dormice in this photo are a little more mature, you can tell because their soft golden coats have already started to develop.๐Ÿ’›
