** The October batwalk will start at 6.30 and we would love you to be there. The event is on Eventbrite, but should that be fully booked , just message me. As it will get dark during the walk, we need to know the number of attendees in advance, so we have the correct number of marshalls to keep everyone safe. **
PS we will have a bat walk every month June to Oct 2027 led by our expert Daisy and will also have ad hoc ,come and listen evenings over the summer.

Fantastic to see such a good turn out for tonight's bat walk
Lots of activity
Hope all those who came enjoyed the evening
We have one more bat walk sat 3rd of October before the bats will hibernate through till May.

Bat walks monthly. Which evening?
Bug hunting Saturday or Sunday morning or afternoon.Which one?
Craft sessions Saturday or Sunday afternoon or morning.Again which one ?
Sessions to record species on INaturalist.
These would be regular one hour sessions either as a group or individually where we will try to map out the reserve in spring,summer and autumn.This will include a POMS (butterfly count) count as part of the national count.. we could do a different day each week
Would you like a few bug hunts and craft events and INaturalist sessions to be held on a weekday in the school holidays.?

These events are being run for you .Anything else you would like that is not on the list.?

The Wassail is already being organised so has been left off the list
Also we will be launching a Community Nature Reserve to link all of YOUR green spaces and map out wildlife and pollinators pathways,whether a large garden or just a plant pot and a saucer or water..
Let's together make Magpiebottom buzz
