Description
The story of Britain's polecat recovery is one of conservation success. This book explains how we came close to losing the species and then describes its remarkable comeback.
It delves into the challenges of studying a secretive, nocturnal mammal that leaves few distinctive signs, while also exploring the role of wild rabbits as perfect prey and providers of polecat resting sites.
The book celebrates the contributions of amateur naturalists in collecting road casualties to monitor the polecat's changing distribution, offering a unique insight into this fascinating species.
