Bat and Moth evening at Llanilar 30th May


Hi all, 

Here's the detail for the Bat and Moth evening 30th May supplied by Aline.  I hope to be there later but I'm sure Aline would appreciate as much help from the Bat Group as possible please.  Don't miss out - this should be good if the weather holds!

Meet at the community centre in Llanilar at 8 pm (I’ll be there from 7.30pm) – from the Aberystwyth direction, drive through the village and turn left at the junction by the Falcon pub (signposted B4575 towards Trawscoed); the community centre is just round the corner on the left (by the blue signposts), close to the church. There’s limited parking near the church/ community centre, so probably best to park behind the pub/ village shop (first right after the junction).

The plan for the evening is as follows:

8 pm Introduction/ welcome
8.05   Moth presentation/ slides (Ian Tillotson, Ceredigion moth group)
8.35 – 8.45 Bat introduction (Aline)
8.45 Visit church to look for signs of bats (poo reported by locals!)
9 – 9.45 Bat walk (NCBG vols)
9.45 – 10 ish Refreshments and time for questions/ view leaflets etc.

(then Thursday 31st at 9.30 am: moth trap opening with Ian for anyone who is available).

Hope to see you all there

Learn more about horseshoe bats!

Hi All,

There's a great Radio 4 programme  about lesser horsehoes in the Usk Valley which is certainly worth a listen !   Thanks Aline for spotting this and passing it on. 


By the way there were loads of pips at Ynys Hir on Thursday and the rain did keep off!  See you all on the 30th!   If you don't know what's happening check out the link to the programme  to the right of this blog.

Don't forget Friday 18th at RSPB Ynys Hir

Hello everyone,

The Group is running a batty walk and talk at  the RSPB Ynys Hir Reserve in Furnace.  Be there by 8:30 pm and be prepared to go for a little walk in the woods after dark!  So bring, warm cloths, torches and good boots.  This is open to any member of the general public.

For Bat Group Members, it would be great to assemble a little bit earlier, say 8:15.   Please let me know if you intend coming along.

Hope to see you there,
