From an ecological point of view, would be great if you could send your records in to your local biological records centre (BRC). This sort of info is great to get an idea of protected species locations and numbers. It helps ecologists and wildlife trusts with their planning and management of habitats.

 

A good place to start to find your local BRC is:

That's really cool, I guess they are attracted to the heat the rotting wood chip generates. All I ever found was various fungi growing out of it.

Before my stoats went, i picked up a dead one near my cord stacks,no obvious cause of death,but ive got a pair of marsh harriers floating around so one of those may have grabbed it,then decided not to eat it for some reason.
