Montgomeryshire has a fantastic range of mammals, from the tiny Pygmy Shrew to the great Red Deer, from aerial masters such as pipistrelle bats to expert swimmers like otters. With approximately 40 species of mammals in Montgomeryshire, there is plenty to see, without being overwhelming. I hope this blog inspires you to not only keep your eyes open for our wonderful mammals, but report your sightings too!

Montgomeryshire Bat Group
So, exciting news! Montgomeryshire once again has a bat group! The inaugural meeting of the new group took place last night at Abermule Hotel, with eight keen batty people attending. We all agreed we wanted a group and there were lengthy discussions about what the group could do. Some offered to take on roles, but there are still some to 'play for', so if anyone is interested in helping out - you don't need to know anything about bats! - then please get in touch. The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday evening, 13th December, in Welshpool (venue to be confirmed).

Bats galore......
Driving back from Llanfair Caereinion to New Mills this evening at around 19:00, I was amazed to see so many bats! During the short trip I must have seen 30+. I didn't get chance do I.D. them all sadly, but many of them seemed to be Pipistrelles.
