ESL - Ecological ServicesESL currently have three licensed staff-ecologists with regular experience of surveying for and handling dormice and recognising other signs of their presence.
Habitat and landscape assessments can be carried out at any time of the year; searching for and identifying opened nuts is most successful between autumn and spring, though nuts may be found at other seasons. Dormice hibernate from October through to late spring, and surveys for nests, feeding signs and the animals themselves can only be carried out between May and September. Tubes or boxes need to be placed at least 2-3 weeks before surveys commence, and should then be checked at least four times, at intervals, through the active season.
