Tracks in the snow
The snow is a great opportunity to see what animals are running about while we’re not looking…
-
- Red squirrel
-
- Fox prints
-
- I’m fairly sure this small track has been made by a vole
-
- Red deer tend to come off the hill and spend more time in the woods in the cold
-
- Roe deer
-
- In this one the dew claws are visible in the print because the roe deer has just landed after a leap
-
- These are grouse prints – I’m going for red (Lagopus lagopus), as opposed to black, because I found them high in the hills, away from the woodland edge.
-
- High up on the hills, so probably mountain hare
-
- Back in the woods, something from the thrush family, probably blackbird
Life since the office 
you made these with twigs….
