Not long back from enlightening some small Cubs in the scout hut. About dissecting owl pellets and finding small mammal bones I hasten to add. They seemed to be suitably enthralled/disgusted/bemused about the whole thing, but as ever hopefully such exposure to different aspects of the natural world will trigger a life-long interest. If nothing else the leaders seemed to be fascinated by it all.
Here's a few shots from Tuesday night's traps ...
