Upcoming Events and Activities

Bat Transect survey

When: Thursday 15th October

Where: London Wetland Centre, Barnes, London SW13 9WT

Since 1996 monthly bat transect surveys have been carried out at WWT London Wetland Centre in Barnes (SW13) from March to October. Here’s a paper publishing trends from these surveys.

We split into two groups to walk two transect simultaneously, taking about one hour. One of the transects is all on even ground along footpaths, the other involves climbing over a gate, walking up/down slopes and along muddy/very uneven paths.

A week or so before the dates there will be a call out by email to members, so for now just put any dates in your diary that you are interested in joining. No need to book a date any further in advance, there is usually room for all!
