A chance to venture out and have an illuminating experience!

We will meet at Hackness and from there you can either car-share or drive in convoy to Bickley.

In case of bad weather, please check our website and our facebook page.
A chance to see some of these strange birds and other birds and animals of the twilight period. Time and location to be arranged. Note there is a chance we may combine this Nightjar walk with the Glowworms walk the previous week (25th June). This will depend on a recce later this month of potential sites. Watch this space for further information.
We will try and have another go at Throxenby Mere for bats and possibly moths. All bits and pieces are still being sorted but put this date in your diary. Hopefully the weather will be better and we can see some nice bats and possibly moths. As before bring something to eat and drink. Meet at Throxenby Mere picnic site. If we have to cancel again we will post on the web site and facebook.
We are going to check the bat activity that we found around the centre of the village and also do some recording in Revenge Wood as the card in the bat detector there failed on our first survey. Please contact Nick Gibbons on 07790 113025 if you can help.
As most of you will know the Society has been doing a repeat of Peter Robinson’s 1993 botanical survey of Deepdale. Apart from the botanical survey we have also been gathering records of as many other groups as possible and will also have a bat survey there on 9th August. To ‘celebrate’ FC are having an open day on the site and all members are invited. Hopefully we should also be able to generate some more records for the site on the day so bring your field guides etc! Exact timings, access etc will be posted when finalised.
This is now confirmed. Meet at Brompton Village hall at 8.15. There will be a bat talk prior to the survey and villagers are being invited to participate. Contact Nick Gibbons for further details (nicholas.gibbons123@btinternet.com).
