Making a mammal record is easy! If you see any wild mammals in Shropshire, we would love to know. It could be a grey squirrel, rabbit, fox or badger and all you need to do is make a note of the location (place name, postcodes and grid reference) species seen, evidence observed and the date. Some species such as polecats and hares can easily be misidentified, so if you can take a photograph of any mammal you are unsure about, we will be able to verify the species. 

The easiest way to make a mammal record is to download the Mammal Society’s Mammal Mapper app.

Mammal Mapper is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play, and can be found by searching for ‘Mammal Mapper’.

All your records will automatically be sent to our county mammal verifiers and added to the Shropshire database.

A record could be a sighting of a mammal, dead animals on roads, field signs such as trails and burrows, or results from field survey work:
