TOPDRESSING & LOAM From village green to county ground
Visit our website at
www.boughton.co.uk and download an analysis sheet to find out which of our three cricket loams are most suitable for your ground.
Boughton Kettering, Club, and County Loams are sourced locally and analysed to establish compatibility and conformity. They are then screened and can be supplied dried and sterilised or untreated for construction projects.
Dormouse in hibernation
come round. They have never been found in teapots, but some Mad Hatters may refute that! Young dormice are generally born between May and October. Each litter consists of three to five young. The gestation period is around twenty-three days and, when the young are born, they weigh only 3-4g. A newly born dormouse is both blind and naked, and it is not until around thirteen days old that the young dormouse is fully furred, although it is still blind. It is not until eighteen days old that a young dormouse can see. At twenty-four days old, the young animal is fully formed but a greyer colour than the adult and, by thirty days, it is able to leave the nest. In terms of knowing whether there are dormice in an area, the best field signs are discarded shells of hazelnuts. Dormice leave a smooth cut edge around the hole made in the shell (see picture), whereas other mice and voles leave teeth-marks in the cut edge, whilst squirrels break the shells up completely. Obviously, if there isn’t any hazel in a woodland/scrub area, then other methods to find dormice would be required!!

Hazelnut discarded by a dormouse
would really benefit this species. If you are thinking about a development or undertaking work, such as scrub clearance, that may impact on dormice habitat, it is recommended that you contact Natural England or the Wildlife Trust. For information on hedgerow management and conservation visit
