Join a group of enthusiastic children from Holbeton Primary School as they embark on a mission to locate and count the nests of Britain's tiniest rodents, the harvest mice. In this educational adventure, the kids explore fields near Mothercombe beach, Devon, and discover an impressive 17 nests, a record for project manager Sarah Butcher this year. Learn about the National Harvest Mouse Survey, an initiative by the Mammal Society, and understand why winter is the perfect time to survey these nests without disturbing the mice.
The young conservationists, Viola and Alice, describe the nests as intricate grass and hay structures with a central hole for the mice's comings and goings. This video highlights the importance of citizen science and the role of farmers like Joe Clarke in promoting wildlife conservation on their land. By participating in this survey, the children contribute to a clearer understanding of harvest mouse distribution and the habitats they depend on.
