Last month, Tim and I visited the UK to look for mammals. We now managed to finish our trip report, which you can find here:

Good work guys! You saw some good stuff… I have never seen a Water Shrew despite many small trapping sessions in the UK.
Seeing two Weasels in three days is even more impressive. You can go months without seeing them over here nowadays.
Having said that less impressive was the cost of the rooms. You can most definitely get better than average rooms in most of the areas visited for well under £140 especially in the low season like February. I even checked bookings.com for the next few days just to check and in all of the areas it ranged between £50 and £80 including breakfast. You were robbed! Richard
Well, we didn’t pay the 140£. We just drove on and found rooms within the price range you mention. It just took time and effort to find an affordable room.
We were very happy with the weasels! It was ages ago since we had last seen one.
