On Friday evening September 12th a group of 15 people led by Charlie Liggett from Merseyside and West Lancashire Bat Society enjoyed a Bat walk in Hurst Grange Park Penwortham. We were lucky to have a rain free mild evening and were rewarded with sightings of Common Pipistrelle, Soprano Pipistrelle and Noctule bats. Our detectors also picked up Daubenton's as we walked close by one of the small ponds in the park.
Charlie patiently answered all our questions and enhanced our enjoyment of the evening by sharing his extensive knowledge of the life cycle and habits of bats and gave us a good introduction to the bats we are likely to encounter in our region.
Our grateful thanks to Charlie for sharing his expertise with us and thanks to those who participated and supported this event. A £30 donation will be forwarded to the Bat Society to support their bat conservation work.
