Around 6 years since we last surveyed Mercia Marina for its bats, we were invited back this year to give a talk and walk to residents of the largest inland Marina in the UK. It was quite hard work to find the bats but we did have noctules and pipistrelle bats eventually giving the residents a taste of the world of bats. We capped the numbers in the mid 20's and the event was so popular there was a waiting list and we're now running a second event in early July for another 20 residents!
