By EMILY BEAMENT News Reporter RARE hazel dormice have been released into a Warwickshire woodland in an effort to stem the decline of the charismatic species.

HAZEL dormice numbers have declined by almost three quarters in the last 20 years, UK-wide research shows.

Hazel dormice have been spotted at a new conservation reserve in Carmarthenshire a lot earlier than was originally expected.

The dormice - also known as the Common dormouse - were once widespread in England and Wales, but have been lost from 17 counties since Victorian times and are now only commonly found in the South of England and areas of the English-Welsh border.

The scientists also discovered that power-napping can help late-born garden dormice overcome these unfavorable odds.
