Rail link dormice make their move

DORMICE THAT made a home in the path of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link were being moved yesterday from Kent, to a secret location in Buckinghamshire.

A total of 30 dormice will be released in a woodland reserve - with a further 20 being let loose in Warwickshire as part of a scheme, co- ordinated by the Government's wildlife adviser English Nature, which aims to restore the nationally rare creature to seven English counties where it has vanished.
