Packed room for bat talk

by Lib Dem team on 11 November, 2010

Thanks to Steve from the South Lancashire Bat Group  for a fascinating talk to a packed room at Gatley Hill House yesterday.

An audience of all ages came along to the event, organised by the Gatley Carrs Conservation Group, and just about managed to squeeze into the room.

As well as finding out all about bats from the smallest (the bumblebee bat, about the size of an adult thumbnail) to the largest (don’t remember, but wingspan of a few week), the quietest and loudest (both British bats), we were introduced to a pipistrelle bat and I had to turn down my daughter’s request for two pet bats as a result.
