Identification guide to tracks and signs left by the wild and domesticated mammals of Britain and Ireland
Labelled line drawings highlight the important features to check
Designed to be used outside: lightweight, rucksack-sized, splash-proof
Many mammals are shy, making them difficult to see. But the signs that mammals leave, like tracks, droppings and feeding marks, can tell us a lot about which species are present.
Tracks: footprints are very useful. We have also included the tracks left by domestic animals
Droppings: broadly split into the three groups of herbivore, insectivore and carnivore
Burrows and nests: of fox, badger, rat, rabbit, water vole, mice and voles, hazel dormouse, squirrel and harvest mouse
Feeding signs: grazing signs; gnawed hazelnuts; tooth marks
Other signs: miscellaneous clues including roe deer rubs and beds, badger hair and snuffle holes, and beaver signs
This Second Edition has been completely rewritten, with new drawings and photographs throughout. Labelled line drawings show the key identification features of each track. Since perfect footprints are rare, the author has included advice on which features are most reliable. Colour photographs will help you distinguish between the droppings, animal homes and feeding signs. There are more mammals included, especially domestic ungulates. We have also included both the footprints and feeding signs left by beavers.
If you have never tried tracking before, the key thing is to just get out there and start looking. Areas of mud or sand are particularly worth investigating.
