The purpose of this form is to help Heart of Argyll Wildlife Organisation (Argyll Beaver Centre) gain a better picture of the American mink population across Knapdale and throughout Argyll. Data will be used to inform our project to eradicate mink for the benefit of vulnerable ground-nesting birds and endangered water voles. If you would like to know more about the project or to make a donation please visit https://www.argyllbeavercentre.co.uk/hawo; or email clare@argyllwildlife.scot. Many thanks for taking the time to record your sightings - it makes a real difference to our work.
