Revival of the Fortunes of Serotine in Kent
Our next KBG talk will be given by Chairman Dr. John Puckett and will be presented via Zoom.
How protecting roosts and the surrounding habits - ancient woodland and biodiverse grasslands - provides both warmth for growing pups and adequate food forage for lactating mums, thus stabilising local populations.
The link will be sent out to members nearer the time.

Ash Wildlife Friendly Village are holding their annual Wildlife Conference on 15th February 2025 and the topic is Badgers and Bats.
The itinerary is as follows:
Understanding the Principles and Techniques of Recording Bats
Martyn Cooke, a bat acoustic expert and representative for SonoBat, gave a workshop in July 2024 with this title. The talk will provide valuable advice if you want to improve your recording techniques for better quality recordings when surveying for bats. Martyn shows how poor recording techniques may well confuse AI detectors and give false identification. It’s a must for young ecologists embarking on their careers.
This will be presented via Zoom and a link will be sent to members nearer the time.
