Batman - Villagers had a thoroughly enjoyable evening all about bats on July 26, in Brompton Village Hall. Nick Gibbons, who is a member of the Scarborough Field Naturalists Society gave an interesting and informative talk to a large audience who were clearly very interested to hear all about these fascinating mammals. The talk was followed by a raffle, hot drinks and delicious bat biscuits kindly made by Sandra Pickering. Then it was time for the bat survey. Trained volunteers took up position at designated points around the village to watch for and record the bats. The weather conditions were kind and villagers were treated to displays from several species of bats. Nick had also placed a number of static bat detectors around the village to gather even more information. Allan Rodda undertook a moth survey at the same time and reported 45 different species of moth including one that is uncommon in this area. The details and results of these surveys and others will be presented at our the annual wildlife event on Saturday, September 21 in Brompton Village Hall. Everyone invited.
