I would reccomend you consider joining the guild of thaxidermists
http://www.taxidermy.org.uk/ here you will be able to meet other likeminded people who will be willing to help and advise on any related issues .It may be worth contacting any local sporting estates to see if the gamekeepers would be prepared to pass vermin specimens on to you,crows,magpies,stoats,weasels ect.
good luck
