Quick sighting update for today with a bat seen this afternoon whilst it was still quite light off Banks Lane. It's about this time of year when bats will be increasingly going into torpor with some going into hibernation this month and certainly doing so in December. We're not sure what species but probability makes it likely to be a Common Pipistrelle.
Elsewhere around Dove Stone this week sightings of Peregrine, Red Grouse, Kestrel, Raven, Dipper, Pied Wagtail, Peregrine, Brambling, Siskin, Long tailed tit, Wren, Coal Tit, Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Nuthatch and Lesser Redpoll. More soon...
