Went with Tom to Savernake Forest to go ‘batting’ on a trip led by the Steve Ward. We checked boxes during the day, finding Common Pipistrelle, Brown Long-eared, Noctule, and Natterer’s Bat. In the evening we used mist nets in the evening (until 2am) where we caught mostly Natterer’s, a few Brown Long-eared, and a single Daubenton’s Bat.
Birds in the ancient Oak and Beech woodland included a number of Buzzards, Nuthatches, and Treecreepers. A Red Kite was also seen nearby.
