During 56 hours, the camera trap had recorded a hedgehog three times, a mouse eight times, house sparrows, blackbirds and three times a polecat.

From March to December 2016 there were camera traps in 60 Lelystad gardens It turned that in 15-20% of those gardens there were red foxes or polecats; more than expected.
