London Wildlife Trust - Get ready for a wild winter

London's Bats It's not just at Halloween we can catch a glimpse of London's bats. Along with the millions of people who call London home, 11 of the 18 bat species in Britain can be found in our capital. Bats can generally be seen until early November but this does depend on weather conditions. During the colder months bats hibernate, slowing their heart rate right down until they are in a state of torpor. They prefer to roost in older buildings and bridges, making use of cracks, crevices and roof spaces. Unfortunately, modern buildings tend not to be very bat friendly. Some of the best places to spot bats in London include Dulwich and Sydenham Hill Woods, Ruislip Woods, Richmond Park and Welsh Harp (Brent Reservoir). Get outside and see if you can spot these mysterious creatures before their hibernation begins.  Camley Street Crowdfunder   We were delighted that our crowdfunder for Camley Street Natural Park reached its £30,000 target. A huge thank you to everyone who has pledged and made this a success, we look forward to reopening Camley Street in 2020.
