Bat & Moth Evening at Baydons Meadow
2024-08-30 20:30 | Baydons Meadow
Join our annual quest for bats and moths in and around Baydons Meadow!
Meet by the interpretation board and log seat near the cycle path and blue footbridge over the Avon.
Paul Darby, who used to work for the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, will chat about the bats and lend out several bat detectors for the evening so that we can listen out for the clicks from their calls as we look up for them flitting through the trees just after dusk.
Michael Sammes, amateur-lepidopterist of our group, will talk about and show us any moths that visit the moth-trap and white sheet that he will put out there. He also hopes to have run his moth-trap on the previous evening in his garden nearby and so to reveal some moths that he has identified and temporarily captured which can then be released.
Both Paul and Michael are inquisitive and knowledgeable on all things in nature, so it should prove an interesting evening.
Please see Baydons Meadow Wildlife Group website https://baydonsmeadow.org.uk/ for information about our volunteer group, our management of the meadow and how you can get involved.

Free entry
Directions to find Baydons Meadow can be found here.
