Morning all
The bat season offically starts today, with the first survey kicking off tomorrow evening at Stockgrove CP.
Athough bats have and will be about the temperatures are not looking to good, usually a temperture of 5oC or above means there will be plenty of bat activity, however the days of late have been great but night-time temperatures have been low, with tonights low expected to be 1oC.
This means that the invertebrates that bats prey on are unlikely to be about and therefore bat activity will be low.
Hopefully we will hear the usual species, and it gives us a chance to 'get our ear' back in.
