Batty about Bats

The other night there was a York Council run event in Acomb Wood: Batty About Bats. A group of about 30 or so gathered in the darkening evening and wondered around with Bat Detectors and torches. Amazingly we found some. Rowan and the other children seemed to get as much joy from playing with the torches as from the bats, but it was a good event. The bat was a pipistrelle
