This evening's bat walk couldn't have gone much better! 22 people of all ages attended and 5 bat species were detected and seen. It's always exciting and thrilling to be out at this time of day looking for wildlife, and everyone was really keen to learn about such an overlooked species of mammal.
In order of the first to be seen, the 5 species detected were: Noctule, Soprano Pipistrelle, Common Pipistrelle, Serotine, and Daubenton's. Unfortunately no owls were seen or heard, which is unusual for my bat walks, but overall the evening was a huge success and I couldn't be happier!
Hi, my name is Simon. My local patch is Mote Park, one of Kent’s largest parks and right on the edge of Maidstone, the county town of Kent. It is a former country estate, and records of the Park date back since before the 14th century. The park has a variety of habitats and this blog will note all the wildlife that I encounter in them.
