2015 TBG Activities

November 2015 - Bat Care Training Day, Dundee

​

TBG organised a very successful bat care training day at the Camperdown Wildlife Centre, with 63 people attending and many more who had to be balloted out due to lack of places.  

​

Talks and demonstrations were given on various aspects of bat care and a few more bat carers were the result - which are well needed across the local area - and quite a few from outwith the Tayside area.

​

Tayside seems to be leading the way in bat care training in Scotland!

September 2015 - Bat Box Checks at the Tay Reed Beds, Errol and Dundee​

​

TBG members had an enjoyable day at the Tay Reed Beds checking the bat boxes we installed along the paths, followed by a trip into Dundee to check some more boxes.

 

A big thanks to the folk at CSV Action Earth for awarding us a grant to get equipment to enable us to do this :D 

 

A healthy number of pipistrelles found in the reed bed boxes and a few nice brown long eared bats spotted in a top secret location in Dundee ;)

November 2015 - TBG curry night, Perth

​

TBG members met up in Perth for an excellent curry after the Scottish Bat Conference and brainstormed future batty projects :)
