News ALERT…bats!
June 24, 2012
For those of you interested in wildlife and nature there is good news, a bat was seen in the park by two Friends late evening last Tuesday. Seen flitting at speed it was most likely Britain’s smallest bat a common pipistrelle, they are only 4cm long and weigh about 5 grams – less than a £1 coin! and can eat over 3,000 tiny insects in a single night!
This is the third year running that bats have been recorded in Wormholt Park, and the Friends have registered the park with the Green City Bats scheme. If you are keen to get more involved with the park around the issue of nature and wildlife just get in touch through our email wormholtpark@gmail.com.

There had been Bats in the park for years. They were nesting in the old Bowling Green Pavillion roof but when that was demolished they probably moved on.
Let’s encourage bats by putting up bat boxes, encouraging insects and not chop down ANY more trees.
It’s a pity you don’t have a donate button! I’d certainly donate to this fantastic blog!
I suppose for now i’ll settle for bookmarking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account.
I look forward to new updates and will share this website with my Facebook group.
Talk soon!
