I’ll see how it goes. Obviously our first priority is to minimise stress to the animals and get the checks done as quickly as possible, but there are sometimes opportunities whilst we are weighing and sexing them etc.
Also, at this time of year, they are usually very active - unlike the autumn when they are sometime semi- or fully torpid and quite fat in readiness for hibernation. They are a lot easier - and cuter - to photo then.

Didn’t realise you’d actually be handling them. So interesting. Good hunting!
