Geocache Description:

These Geocaches have been set out for the 11th Mega Piratemania with the cooperation and Guidance of the Forestry Commission and their Ecology team.
Mega Piratemania is a gathering of over 500 Geocachers gathered together once a year in a Pirate theme.
This year is the 11th event so therefore the 10th year of events. Usually held the first weekend after the Schools break up for the summer Holidays.
Its a family fun weekend that roams around the UK.
This year we have been lucky enough to be hosted by the Forestry Commission Dalby Team and we thank them for their Help with the event.

With a Break from the normal Pirate based themes of Cache names we are highlighting some of the flora and fauna that can be found within North Yorkshire Moors area.

The field vole or short-tailed vole (Microtus agrestis) is a grey-brown vole,^[2] around four inches (ten centimetres) in length, with a short tail. It is one of the most common mammals in Europe, with a range extending from the Atlantic coast to Lake Baikal. These voles are found in moist grassy habitats, such as woodland, marsh or on river banks. Although they make shallow burrows, they usually build nests above ground. They are an important food source for owls and some other predators and their population size tends to peak and trough cyclically. Field voles breed prolifically, mainly in summer, but often all year round, even under snow. Females produce up to seven litters a year, each averaging from four to six young which are weaned after about fourteen days. The field vole is both widespread and common and is listed as being of "Least Concern" by the IUCN.
