Clayfield Copse Bat Boxes
Sunday, 12th December 2010
The Berkshire and South Buckinghamshire Bat Group will be
erecting bat boxes in various trees around Clayfield Copse on
Sunday 12th December. The group have been able to buy a mix of
Schwegler summer and hibernation boxes and will locate them in
suitable trees according to the latest recommendations. One
recommendation is that bird boxes are sited in the same trees
to discourage birds from using the bat boxes (a problem
previously encountered at this site). Hopefully the Friends
of Clayfield Copse may be able to help with this later in
the year.
All the bat boxes will be numbered and logged on the Berkshire
and South Buckinghamshire Bat Group records with a GPS location.
They will undertake regular checks and use these as a training
exercise for our many Bat License trainees.
