Stoat

Mustela erminea

The stoat can be distinquished from the weasel, as the stoat is larger and has a black tip to its tail.

These excellent hunters often forage along hedgrows and ditches, systematically searching for prey in zig-zag patterns.

If you do see a stoats, or any mammal, please do let us and the local record centre know.

We need to know WHAT you saw, WHERE and WHEN you saw it and WHO you are. Records can be sent direct to ERCCIS here.

Atlas

We officially launched the CMG Atlas Project at our Autumn Fete on 10th October 2009, in conjunction with our 10th Birthday!

Check-out the first drafts of our "work-in-progress" Atlas here. We welcome any suggestions and amendments!

One of the main aims of the Cornwall Mammal Group is to produce a new "Mammals of Cornwall Atlas" and we hope to have this completed by 2011.

In order to produce an atlas that is up to date and complete we need as many mammal sightings record across the entire county as possible.

So please, if you see any mammal do send your records in. There is more information on our recording page.

Remember, we want all species, common or rare. Some of the more conspicuous species such as rabbits for example are often forgotten and then are under-recorded.
