Other traces of mammals

 You might like to read this page from BBC Wildlife Magazine to whet your appetite for 'wildlife feeding signs'. Unfortunately there are no illustrations.

Rob Strachan's 'Mammal Detective' book is said to be good for these, and is pretty cheap second-hand (I don't have a copy yet).

Nick Baker's 'RSPB Nature Tracker's Handbook' is along the same lines.

I'm sure you'll find other options too - that's at least an advantage of choosing mammals, because their wide appeal with the public makes publishers happy (books on moss aren't quite so lucrative, more's the pity).

Brian Ecott has some useful photos and information on his Hainault Forest site. But I've not found much on the internet that's comprehensive. So if you get really into this, there's a definite gap you could fill...
