A large, trampled latrine was found on the tracking pad in the brook. Most likely to be Water Vole but the droppings were drier and smaller than normal, so they may have been deposited prior to the good weather of Easter week (but after 24 March). As the surface of the clay was also dry there were no visible footprints.
