Bat Talk - May 2014

Last Saturday morning saw a group of eager participants assembled in the Milking Parlour Field Centre at Place Farm to listen to Karen Hammond from the National Trust telling us all about our local bats.

Karen is based at Bodiam Castle where the ruins provide a home for several species of bat and she also runs a rescue service for injured or orphaned bats.

At the end of her fascinating and informative talk, Karen showed us two of the bats she has been looking after – a Common Pipistrelle and a Natterer’s.
