Saturday 14th August
Bat
and Moth Spectacular
Time: 7pm - onwards
Everyone is welcome to join us for the
chance to discover the nocturnal winged world! Meet in the
classroom for an introductory talk on moths by local expert Dave
Grundy followed by an introduction to bats. Have a close up
encounter with live moth specimens from the Midlands before heading
out onto the reserve to set moth traps and hunt for bats.
The walk will end about 9pm but everyone is
welcome to stay later to check the traps throughout the night
(until midnight, or later) in order to survey the different species
found at Brandon Marsh. Remember to wrap up against the weather,
wear sturdy shoes and bring a torch!

Please meet in the car park and ask for the gate code at the point
