Stumptail the dormouse lived 15 years ago in the Croes Robert Nature reserve outside Trellech. Keith Allen has a handling licence and a photography licence, and was able to follow this one dormouse almost from birth, when he lost half his tail and thus became recognisable, to his death, with some stills and a unique video.

Keith will also bring some artifacts – a nest, nuts, and a couple of imitation animals in needlefelting as most people have never seen one.

The photo is of an entire dormouse, with all of its tail!
