Geraldine Hogg one of the survey leaders for Wardown Park reports:

A very pleasant stroll around Wardown Park took place on Tuesday 7th May, (we ) were probably outnumbered by the Common Pipistrelles.

The bat boxes were bedecked with spiders webs, at least the boxes are
providing homes for wildlife even if it’s not the intended residents.

First Pipistrelles were heard between the museum building and the tennis
courts. As we neared the lake the number of bats increased. There was
obviously a good supply of bat food on the menu, as feeding buzzes were
frequently heard.

The suspension bridge is still blocked off, awaiting funds for the
necessary repairs. The southern bridge which we were able to stand upon
gave us the usual excellent views of bats showing off their acrobatic
flying skills.
