HOBBY
On 31st. July, we were fortunate to ring 3 Hobby pulli at a secret location in Worcestershire.
BATS
Dave Fulton and Tony Crossman are currently training to become Voluntary Bat Wardens. VBW's are normally
contacted by the Bat Conservation Trust to visit any premises where members of the public are experiencing problems with bats,
and to offer advice.
Dave has recently rescued a Daubenton's bat which was found in Bridgnorth. Unlike birds, they will sit and
readily accept mealworms from the hand, not seeming in any way stressed.
Picture below getting stuck in to a mealworm chrysalis.
Some young at this time of year are ringed as nestlings as were these Swallows.
A brood of Little Owl was ringed in Highley on 1st.June. 2007. Seen here posing for his first picture!
