Then we returned to the hostel & took a walk around the Polana (= mountain meadow or clearing in the forest) visiting a small chapel on the upper edge of the meadow. Found a dead Sorex along the edge of the path which seemed to be in perfect condition (WZL# 38/12).

At the Dorotka's house we caught 1 Apodemus flavicollis (WZL# 3820). At Obrocktowska (10 trips) we had 3 Mus musculus in the house.
