Hi All,
We have been invited to attend a meeting in Guernsey, on 2nd October, of all the Channel Island bat groups along with Laura Dunne from the BCT to discuss the BCT’s new relationship approach to bat groups. I will be attending, Kate Sharma and Ruari Allen may also be going with me.
If anyone has any discussion points they would like to raise with the other channel islands groups please let me know.

Thanks,

PLEASE NOTE IF WE DON’T GET ANY VOLUNTEERS FOR THIS EVENT OUR SECTION WILL HAVE TO BE CANCELLED!!!!

Volunteers are needed to run the stand at Durrell day on Saturday 14th August and Sunday 15th August as I am out of the island what weekend and Kate has to work, so although she will be at Durrell all day she won’t be able to man the stall the whole time therefore it is essential that we get enough volunteers to cover the whole day! If anyone fancies staying there the whole day that would be good too…
Let me know ASAP if you are available as I am leaving on 9th August so will need to run through the activities we have planned etc with you before I go, please email me on ani_holliland@hotmail.com or send me a text on 07797825570 and I will get back to you as soon as I can (as I have abit of a busy week before I leave).
Thanks,

Hi everyone.

We have been asked whether we would like to be part of Durrell Day which is happening on the 14th and 15th of August .

This is a really good oppotunity for us as they are expecting about 5000 visitors per day! There is going to be a dedicated bat area up by the bat tunnel which is going to be one of 5 education zone and obviously we will share this area with Durrell’s one.   

I thought it would be really great if as many of us as possible to get together to discuss our ideas  and see how many of us will be available to do it. We are also getting a banner made by the lovely Naomi which we will be able to use at all our events, and we’d like as many people to see it / have input into its design as possible so everyone has a part  in it!

I am thinking the 21st july provisionally, could you let me know if this is convenient to everyone?

Thanks

Kate

The bats are back in the roost at Howard Davis Farm, it is quite a large roost so is a good one to visit for anyone that has got abit bored of not seeing any bats!
Donna went to check it out last night and said this:
“I am tres excited as I saw 68 bats coming out the office last night.
I have asked Louise Magris and she is happy for the bat group to visit one night if anyone wants to see what I believe to be a maternity roost (?)…..There is loads of poooooo )”

If anyone is interested in going up let me know and I will arrange a date or a couple of dates.

Thanks,

Hi All,

I am proposing to add Ruari Allen as a ‘officer’ of the bat group as one of our most experienced surveyors, if anyone has an objection please comment/email ASAP.

Thanks,

“Whilst out walking very early on May the 23rd ( doing a dawn chorus ) we were lucky enough to discover a bat roost. In the roof space of the pumping station, at Val de la mare,( below the damn) they were entering through a small crack in the eave (facing seawards) it was wonderful to see them enter at speed, I hope this is of some interest to you.
best wishes
