Next event 2nd and 7th May

The group have been asked to have a presences at Cwm Rheidol Power Station Visitor Centre SN699 796 to help out on their Fun Day next Saturday 2nd May. They now have a web cam linked up to the pip roost in the roof space and would like someone there to talk to the visitors. I'll be there between about 11:30 to 3:00 but I would be very glad of some company - let me now if you want to join me.

On the 7th May we'll be doing a walk and short talk for the University Biological Society starting at Cwm Rheidol Power Station Visitor Centre. I'll give a short introduction on bat detectors but it would be good to have as many Bat Group members there as possilbe prepared to give a hand. If you want a lift let me know and meet at Somerfield's car park no later than 8:15, or be at the site by no later than 8:45. SN699 796. See you all there. I'll post by 4:00pm on the day if the weather means we have to cancel.

Programme of events - also coming soon...

We hope to be publishing a programme of events for North Ceredigion Bat Group soon - it will include an evening bat walk with BioSoc and the Wildlife Trust in the Rheidol Valley some time in May - again, all are welcome! On the night, we'll be checking on a large roost and then doing some bat detecting in the nearby woods to see what we can find. We'll have spare bat detectors, so everyone can have a go.

Later on in the year, we'll be checking on some of the local bat roosts - some that we've been monitoring for many years - as part of the Bat Conservation Trust's National Bat Monitoring Programme. No previous experience required so do come along. We usually arrange to meet up in Aberystwyth beforehand, and then share cars to the bat roosts, but we'll send out emails nearer the time with full details. If you want to join the North Ceredigion Bat Group email list, please email me.
