Save the date - we are hoping to do a bat survey to see what bats are present and hopefully distinguish different types too using Lucy’s new bat monitor! How exciting! This is a late task as the bats won’t come out until near to sunset. We will meet for a walk and litter pick beforehand, but the bat spotting and counting won’t begin until approximately 8.30-8.45pm.

Bat survey form for reference:

We will park at the local doctor’s surgery and then walk over to Bartley Park together from there. Don’t forget warm clothes and head torch.


How are you getting there?
