Mammals count September/October

This is the numbers as seen from my car within a 100 mile radius from Dawlish in Devon.

First the negative numbers of road kill, 7 Fallow Deer, 1 Roe Deer, 1 Badger, 2 Fox, 3 Rabbit, 1 Rat, 1 Hedgehog and a large number of Grey Squirrels 15 in total.

On the subject of Grey Squirrels also saw a lot of live ones 24! possibly because its harvesting nuts for them and a lot of crossing rds? Also live was 4 Rabbits,1 Badger, 4 Fallow deer and 1 Mouse sp.
