17th September 2024 - the regular annual bat safari on Granta Park, led by Iain Webb from the Wildlife Trust, again came up trumps. Several Common Pipistrelle were seen, and heard with the help of bat detectors, hunting in clearings in Lagden's Grove and Sluice Wood. Several more of this species were also seen hunting low over the lake, accompanied by several Daubenton's which specialise in plucking insects from the water surface, causing small ripples as they do so. All seen against the last of the sunset reflected over the lake - idyllic.
