A Wild Night Out

We had a fantastic trip out to Strumpshaw RSPB tonight.
We thought we might have to cancel as the weather had been forecast very wet and windy but a hole in the clouds and warm south westerly winds made it an evening to remember.

We played the Bat & Moth game to find out how bats find their food, we looked at moths caught in a trap and used bat detectors to hear the sounds of bats.

Nocturnal animals use their senses differently and we learned how they hear, smell and see at night.
We tried to see the colour of a wax crayon and wrote what we thought it was in the dark, Akela thought his was red!

 

Thanks Lee & Eilish,

we had a wonderful visit to a very special place.
