Fig 2. Samples of monitoring results.

Frames from camera trap video footage during phase two of study, (therefore includes tracking cages in shots) of: A) two dormice and; B) wood mouse, to demonstrate video quality sufficient to allow species identification. Footprints from wild animals, captured using the footprint tracking cage and subsequently identified as: C) hazel dormouse fore foot and D) dormouse hind foot and E) wood mouse forefoot and F) wood mouse hind foot. All prints are positioned with toes at the top, scale bars represent 0.5mm graduations. Note the distinctive three triangular metacarpal pads found in dormouse prints, which in some prints merge into each other, such as in print C.
