As we move though the landscape we will identify the track and sign left behind by mammals, birds and invertebrates. As well as foot morphology and tracks we will be identifying feeding sign, droppings, territorial signs and resting areas of a vast range of animals.
We won’t just rely on what our walk has to offer that day, but will also look at a range of track and sign that our instructors have collected over the years. Looking at the key identification features of feathers, various different skulls and of course studying foot morphology. The course is practical in its majority.
Lizzy has been studying track and sign since 2018, having developed an interest in it since childhood. She’s studied with some of the leading experts both in the UK and overseas. She had been awarded a cyber tracker level 2 in both the UK and South Africa.

We had a great time last weekend on the Track and Sign course. Learnt loads about what to look for when trying to identify where animals have been, think I even found a deer wearing wellies 😂
Lizzy and Jason were both brilliant, very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions.
We are looking forward to putting what was learnt into practice.
