Edible Dormouse
I mentioned the dormouse I heard calling in gardens above Lake Balaton the other day. After speaking to a couple of friends here in Budapest, one who is an expert on this mammal family, it seems the animal was a male Edible Dormouse (Glis glis) making it territorial calls. This species is the largest dormouse and often nests in buildings and nest-boxes as well as tree hollows. Next time I am at the place I am going to search for the creature. I have seen them before, but not for some years.

Could you let me know your experts friend name and email. There can't be many Glis glis experts in Europe. I work on them in the UK.
Ok, I will try to get back to you soon. I am away all next week.
