A recent staff day out in October involved investigating a number of lime kilns, mines and caves in the Forest of Bowland.

A very productive day including 16 natterer’s bats in sugar loaf kiln and several bat species in other cave and mine sites.

The trip was lead by Dave Fisher (Earthworks) and Dave Anderson (East Lancs Bat Group).
