How easy is that?

Winter Talks 2025

21st January 2025 @7pm – Audiomoth Research – results from recording bats in the Pennines.

Please note the date amendment – I sent the wrong date out in the newsletter – the 21st is correct!
Come and hear a presentation about the species of bats that one of our members has been recording up in the Pennines. He has been using the Audiomoth detectors, and for such an apparently bleak area, found quite a range of bats too.

No need to sign up, just turn up on the night.

The venue will be the café, at the Prudhoe Riverside Park Lots of free parking, and a railway station next door, so you can use public transport too.

More talks will be added as they are organised……

Aydon Castle Dusk Bat Survey

Thursday October 3rd, meeting at 17:30

Aydon Castle is home to common pipistrelles, brown long-eared bats and Natterer’s bats. This is a chance to see the bats flying as they emerge internally; it is late in the season so we do not know if the bats will still be there, but if you dont look…

We will have some bat detectors to share and there will be lots of interesting kit to have a look at.

We are meeting in the castle, the car park is at NZ001665 and it is a short walk down. The post code for Aydon Castle is NE45 5PJ . Please can you let Tina know if you are planning to come, by email: malinka1999@btinternet.com
