El #LirónCareto está preparándose para un largo sueño. Que digo yo que por eso lo de «careto», porque se pone la máscara para que no le moleste la luz e hibernar a gusto. Y por eso también lo de «lirón», porque duerme como un ídem. La #FaunaIbérica más dormilona representada por 🥱 #EliomysQuercinus. ¿Dónde? Pues dónde va a ser.

These snesky little critters, the garden dormouse, are excellent climbers, as they spend most of their lives in (oak) trees, which is handy as there are plenty around us. They do like moving into attics or roofspaces for the winter though and can wreak havoc with loft insulation, so while they are very cute, we try to keep them out of the house as best possible. They are also very stealthy - a few years ago, I caught one about to rummage in the recycling bag, hanging upside down above it on the thin steel rod used to openthe skylight!
