What a fantastic week it's been. Last Friday evening 14 of us were at the Crook at dusk, bat detectors at the ready, and were rewarded with many signals picked up from the pipistrelle bats which were darting back and forth all around us. The moth trap set gave us a time to pour over the books on Saturday morning and identify the eight moths which had been caught ( and later released ). Paul's superb photos show up the beautiful detail which is easily missed by the naked eye. Then on Tuesday; to enter the osprey viewing room and see a bird sitting on the nest really was the cream on the cake for me. What a privilege it is to live in such a fantastic spot for wildlife!
