The other location where dormicecould be seen was in an oak, whose branches were situated above our dining table on the terrace.Three individuals were seen daily, and every so often they dropped acorns on the table. There wereeven sightings of these dormice in the bedrooms on the compound. It remained unclear whether ornot the individuals that inhabited the nest boxes were the same individuals as those seen at the terraceand in the bedrooms.
