We're looking for some help to classify the final images for our project with Mammal Web. You'll be asked to identify species in gardens during our NE pilot study to help monitor garden wildlife using camera traps.

Plus there's a chance of winning a camera trap. Each image counts as one entry!

An otter-ly awesome spot from our trail cameras in Gwent! Otters are a European protected species so it’s wonderful to capture this family venturing out from their holt. 🦦
