A fine turnout of 19 met for our annual bat walk in the wood, led once again by Chris from the Durham Bat Group.
On a balmy evening we observed 3 species with the aid of bat detectors – Common and Soprano Pipistrelle, and Myotis. The many Noctules and Daubenton’s of last year’s walk were not apparent this time around.
The pipistrelle species treated us to a thrilling display in the middle glade, swooping over our heads in precision flying, all the time tracked by our bat detectors!
Our bat boxes were checked and found to be in good order, but as last year no resident bats were found.
Our thanks again to the Durham Bat Group for making this memorable evening possible.
