A slightly unusual survey this time, in response to a planning permission application. We thoroughly checked woodlands managed by an outfit called Euroforest who are not averse to putting up some pretty strident signs: “STOP! Do not go further …”, no doubt for valid health and safety reasons, as they had been doing a lot of clearance and harvesting of timber. We found nothing, but it can be as useful to record the absence of badgers (and just about any other wildlife for that matter) as their presence and there is no need to respond to the application.
I like this image showing the root system of a fallen tree.
Our reward was a visit to nearby Heath Lake Nature Reserve, a lovely spot pictured above.
