I thought other members might be interested in this. The PTES do a number of wildlife encounters, enabling you to get to see species that can be hard otherwise. I've only fairly recently discovered this and last year it enabled me to get in the hand views of dormouse. Their day and night looking at Bats in Stavernake Forest looks particularly interesting, although starting at 10 and finishing 'in the early hours' it's likely to be rather tiring - especially for those of us who live a fair way away.

I've booked on it and it'd be good to see other BF members there.

I've done the Savernake trip several times and not only do you get quite an array of bat species but the leader, Steve Laurence, is informative and good company. Strongly recommended if you ahven't done this one before.

I couldn't agree more. Done the trip two years running and no doubt will be doing it again in a year or two.

Glad to hear that Mike and John; I look forward to it. Hopefully I'll get a tick or two as well.

Sadly, the event was cancelled. I'm hoping it will run again this year.
