Another successful Bat & Moth Evening for 2024 despite the stormy conditions of the night before. 30 adults & 5 children attended from a wide area which included Uttoxeter, Marchington & Stafford as well as more locally from Cheadle.

Moth trapping the previous night meant we had some live specimens to look at. There followed a short talk about moths & our light trap was set up which attracted more moths on the night.

Mark from SWT then gave a short talk on bats before issuing bat detectors & leading an evening walk along the Brook path towards Mill Rd footbridge listening in to Pipestrelle bats foraging among the trees & along the Brook.

Lots of positive comments were received. Everyone seemed to really enjoy the evening. Thanks to all the volunteers who turned out to help & support.
