It was time to get the Rose Road vehicles clean after a busy summer holidays of outings. We quickly divided ourselves into innies and outties and off we went! It wasn’t long before we had four vehicles hoovered, dusted, litter picked and washed. We managed to squeeze in a quick wash for the big bus too before home time!

This was stage 2 of the national bat survey, covering the same stretch of the river Test as before. Not quite so many bats this time but still plenty to find, including a very active gang of pipistrelles flying around our heads. We also saw swans, many huge spiders and a got an amazing closet up view of an otter!
