Bat Walk last night @ #DeerLeap reserve. We recorded 4 species: #sopranopipistrelle #commonpipistrelle , #serotine #noctule . We didn't hear from our champion species, the #greaterhorseshoebat these are rare & difficult to record. Noticeable was the lack of insects! #lovethemendips
Our #YoungRangers took on a slightly different challenge this weekend. They have created a documentary exploring their hopes and concerns for the local environment and its future.
The film is even being entered into the Frome International Climate Film Festival! #lovethemendips
Congratulations Penny, John & Julian: our volunteers took the top three in the Dry Stone Walling competition at the Mendip Ploughing Match.
