Is there technically any difference between "spraint" and "scat"? (And just how annoyed are jazz singers that "scat" is another word for poo?)

No difference Dave. Why one animal`s droppings are called spraints, and another`s scats is beyond me

They usually disappear into the ivy underneath our hedge where there isn't any bare earth. I'll try laying some soil in strategic places around the food bowl and see if I can get some prints. It won't be before Tuesday though as it's raining now and I'm out tomorrow night.

Dave P. | I`ll try and sort something similar with our hogs tomorrow. I`m also going to make some footprint traps for the Woodmice in the garden when I get the chance.

I've added a few image boxes and text boxes for each of the mammals so we can add info on footprints, tracks and signs, and droppings
I can then use the above to create database driven pages that put it all together like this draft: http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/list/mammals/tracks
As more info is added to each of the species the above page will automatically build up more content

Nice one Stu. Any chance of making this thread sticky so it stays at the top?
