Scottish Bat Conference 2012
Scottish Bat Workers Conference 2012
Over 100 people attended the SBWC at Battleby. Feedback has been very positive. The range and quality of talks and workshops was highly praised, as always the food was delicious, the surroundings beautiful and the atmosphere friendly and helpful. Film footage of bats in the Battleby bat boxes added extra interest. Fashionistas were wowed by an unknown model in bat man trousers but the show was stolen by baby Daniel ( four weeks old ) in his batty T shirt.
Thank you to all our workshop leaders and speakers for all their time preparing for and delivering their talks and workshops.
We are also very grateful to our sponsors;
Arborteering Ltd,
Eden Ecology
Wildlife Surveys
Scottish Natural Heritage
Photographs from the conference are now on the BCT facebook page.
