On the first evening in October we will look closer at both bats and moths. Come and join us as we learn more and hopefully see, some of these charming creatures.
Sarah Leedham will help us learn about the moths we can attract using a moth trap and light, and we’ll even see moths up close.
Meanwhile Bat expert Graham Hart will help us discover how to hear hunting bats and we will use bat detectors to find them.
Please book in advance as places are limited.
Foxearth Meadows
 sits on the River Stour floodplain in a quiet corner of Essex on the border with Suffolk. The eleven-acre site has a variety of habitats including the river and riverbank, wetlands and woodland, an ancient field boundary, a series of ponds and marshy flower-rich grassland. Managed especially for dragonflies and damselflies, it is also home to a wealth of wildlife including otter, kingfisher, harvest mouse, common lizard, grass snake and common toad. It has been owned and managed by A Rocha UK since 2015.
How to find Foxearth Meadows:
The reserve is about a mile north of Foxearth village, between the River Stour and the lane north-west of Constable’s Farm and Constables Barn (private dwellings with postcode CO10 7HZ).
From Long Melford travelling west towards Clare (A1092), turn first left after GCB Cocoa (formerly Philips Avent), signposted ‘Pentlow Road’. Then take the next left (signposted ‘Liston’) and the reserve is about 200 metres on the left.
