Moth Trapping & Bat Detecting at Corfe Mullen Meadows : Friday 10 October 2008, 6.30-9pm

Do you want to know a little bit more about moths and bats? This first event will teach you how to become a "moth trapper" and "bat detective".

These fascinating creatures are hardly ever seen, but we will show you how to "see" and "hear" them with the aid of technology and a few useful tips!!

This event is being run by Dorset Wildlife Trust for the Nature Watch Corfe Mullen project.

Guided River Walk Report

It's funny. The last report I wrote in July (just after the Nightjar & Glowworm Walk) started with me worrying about the weather. No changes there then! The Guided River Walk along the Stour at Bear Mead looked like it was going to be a complete washout. More "river" than "walk"...

Nightjar & Glow-worm Twilight Walk a "Churring" "Glowing" Success

Nature Watch Corfe Mullen held it's first ever wildlife event last night - a Twilight Walk on Barrow Hills hoping to encounter Nightjars and Glow-worms. I'm really chuffed to report that the event was a great success and really well attended. But did we see nightjars and glow-worms?
