There is so much water about ,especially within flood plains of rivers and streams.Many wildlife have been misplaced and burrowing animals either drown, or have to find new homes. The river Avon has burst its banks for months now and the flood plain will create new small permanent ponds where wild life will flourish. The range of territorial animals will change, like all things.walking along the present edge of water one finds otter scats and also the remains of a cat killed roe deer such as this below, the remains of a femur. The rest of the skeleton lay nearby out of the water. A large cat has recently been hunting here and deer bones are a regular find for myself and other people.
Nearby were the remains of a frog that had been skinned but not eaten possibly by a polecat or raven.
Surprisingly, there were thousands of whirligig beetles on one of the flooded streams.
