National Bat Monitoring Programme Results Round Up

Hi All, thanks Esther for organising these extra outings - that's great, see you all Monday.

Just thought that you might like to have all the results from this seasons NBMP surveys before I post them off to BCT. Make of them as you will. We were lucky with the weather and just manged to get them all done before it took a turn for the worst so we can't use the that to explain the variation in the count for the pips. I'm just glad that the Natt's seem to be back up in number and the LE are steady.

Pipistrelle Colony Count at Cwm Rheidol.
10-06-2010 = 254
21-06-2010 = 469
05-07-2010 = 290
19-07-2010 = 406

Brown Long-Eared at Comins Coch
11-06-2010 = 24
24-06-2010 = 25

Natterer's Colony Count at Llanrhystud
08-06-2010 = 63
17-06-2010 = 64

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who took part and made it so enjoyable. Hope to see you all next year again.

Survey at Furnace, Monday 23rd

Just a quick note to confirm that the bat group will be doing a survey in Furnace on Monday 23rd. I'll send out an email today to those that have said they can come with details of where to meet and what time, so please check your inbox. This is for bat group members only, I'm afraid, hence the lack of details on this blog.

The weather is very unsettled at the moment so it's possible that I may have to cancel - if I do, I will put a message on the blog on Monday afternoon (you should get it as an email before 6pm, if you've signed up for them), but I will also send a group email before 5pm. If you hear nothing, then it's still on - if in doubt, please give me a call (most of you should have my number by now).

We'll also get confirmation of the second count at Furnace soon, so look out for emails and check the blog.

Esther

Welsh Bat Day - don't miss out!

Hi all, glad you had a great time at Furnace - really sorry I missed that but there will be another chance later in September.

Just wanted to draw your attention to the Welsh Bat Day. I circulated an email yesterday but for those who did not get it and want the information please email me. I'll get the hang of the Google Document thingy before long and be able to put up a link like Chris!

The booking form will be going up on the BCT web site as of 16th Aug, so don't miss out.

Esther will be blogging with some new dates for exciting things to do soon - look out for this.
