Thankyou, I will add them to my list of things to look for when I bimble through the area again. They are numbered (highest one was 47) but only found 15, all empty.
Bishop, you may already know but I'll mention it in case others don't, you need a licence to handle dormice. So, if there is one in there you shouldn't be looking but you don't know until you look 
Had any tube contained nesting material would of left it well alone. Common sense don't know then leave it alone sort of thing The ones I found are all along a footpath in plain site so it's not like you can avoid seeing inside them.
Probably intended to attract your attention.
That puts you in focus for one or more silent "Trail camera systems."

Are supposed to be nice slowly grilled, dipped in honey and pine kernels....

I think you'll find that's Edible Dormouse (Glis glis) not our native Hazel Dormouse ( Muscardinus avellanarius)
They'd have certainly noticed the difference in their hunger. An Edible Dormouse can be up to 150g normally and over 200g before hibernation whereas a Hazel Dormouse only reaches 30g tops

So more rat like then!
Is there not a risk those dormouse tubes make it easier for prey to take them?
