This great 12 page fold out identification guide features clear illustrations of the tracks left by mammals with paws (dog, fox, cat, rabbit, hare, otter, mink, polecat, pine marten, badger, weasel, shrew, hedgehog, mouse, rat, water vole and squirrel), and prints left by mammals with cloven hooves (sheep, wild boar and different species of deer).

Many mammals are shy or nocturnal, and this makes them difficult to see. But mammals often leave evidence which show that they live in or have visited an area. These field signs – like tracks, droppings, burrows, nests and evidence of feeding – are much easier to find. With practice it is possible to identify the mammal species from these field signs.

This great 8 page fold out identification guide to house and garden spiders features 40 common species of spiders found in buildings and gardens.

As well as the paintings, the reverse side of the Spiders guide includes concise identification notes for each species. This text covers the key characters to look out for, plus house/garden habitat and web shape or hunting strategy. Even if you cannot find the spider that made it, webs are a useful clue.
