The Mammal Society is currently preparing a new atlas of British mammals. At the moment, there are many blank spaces on the maps for Argyll, often for common and widespread species, which it would be good to fill in if possible.

Follow these links for draft maps (in Google maps) showing which hectads (10km squares) in Argyll have records of mammal species since 2000.

Common shrew	Brown long-eared bat
Water shrew	Common pipistrelle
Mole	Soprano pipistrelle
Hedgehog	Roe deer
Rabbit	Red deer
Brown hare	Sika deer
Mountain hare	Fallow deer
Field vole	Wildcat
Bank vole	Stoat
Water vole	Weasel
Wood mouse	Pine marten
Brown rat	American mink
Grey squirrel	Badger
Red squirrel	Otter
Daubenton's bat	Fox
Natterer's bat	Common seal

I've also prepared a document showing which species have been recorded for each hectad and which species are (potentially) missing. This could be useful for checking up on how well your home hectad is recorded. You can download this document here.

 Please help me fill in the blanks by submitting records of mammals to iRecord or by mailing them to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
