Muscardinus avellanarius, Common Dormouse
This stamp was issued by the Royal Mail in a 6 stamp series, named Endangered Species, in 1998.
I have never seen a Dormouse but I know there was one at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. I quote
“There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house, and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it: a Dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep, and the other two were using it as a cushion, resting their elbows on it, and talking over its head”
Now, a few weeks after I wrote the above I found the same quotation in the presentation pack. There is also more information about the Dormouse in the presentation pack which I had neglected to read
Looking in the index to THE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN I came across one reference to a dormouse in
BRAC: A STONY ISLAND by Julie-Amadea Pluriel
However the Dormouse mentioned in this article is Glis glis, the Edible Dormouse
