This survey was an experimental approach towards remotely obtaining new small mammal records. As such, contact was made with wildlife workers on Arran, and in due course pellets obtained and sent to me on the mainland for analysis and comparison with national records. Five small mammal species are confirmed for Arran, and suggestions made towards resolving another four. I consider this approach a success, and I will seek ways of obtaining a similar arrangement for other areas of Ayrshire with a view to eventually publishing a small mammal report for Ayrshire. more »

Are you interested in birds? Can you tell a Blackbird from a Song Thrush, a Meadow Pipit from a Skylark, a Stonechat from a Whinchat? Would you like to contribute to a national survey on Arran? more »
