This may seem like a strange thing to do on a Saturday night, after all most people are either tucked up in front of the tv with a good film and bottle of wine or down the pub.
Well we were walking around in the dark with a torch and bat detector!
We went on an RSPB bat and owl walk last weekend, saw lots of bats but no owls unfortunately
It started about 9pm at Lake Vyrnwy and it was great fun. Lots of other people turned up for the walk, the volunteers handed out 'bat detectors' (small black box that picks up the frequency that bats call at).
One of the guys there could disguish which bat makes which call. Very interesting evening, even the rain held off untill the journey home.
It was a bit spooky around the church looking for owls
They have been seen perching on the head stones, but we didnt see any that night. Real shame, maybe next time.
