A Dutch birder living the dream in the Eifel, Germany!
My garden mammal list currently stands at an impressive 24 species. I haven’t seen them all myself, unfortunately. My wife spotted a beautiful white Stoat, while my cat has contributed three species to the list: Montane Water Vole, Short-tailed Field Vole and Least Weasel!
A European Mole and an Eurasian Pygmy Shrew were found dead in the garden, while Red Deer remains a heard-only species so far.
The highlight of my garden list has to be the European Wildcat, which has been captured on my trail camera on three separate occasions. The Western Polecat has also made an appearance, although just once on camera.
Not a bad collection of mammals for a garden in the Eifel
Great pictures Leo! Do you know you can add an image to your post as a featured image (and a sentence or two of description) to help with its visibility..?
A fantastic spot. For those wishing to go later in the year, I had no trouble seeing the ibexes at the end of May but failed, in an admittedly quick look, in August presumably because they were very high.
