JOURNAL EDITIONS
We now publish two versions of our Journal - a PDF online version to be sent to members by email. This is now to be a large edition of up to 90 pages. Our printed version is likely to be around 60 pages. Members will be asked to accept the PDF version wherever possible.
Our Journal Editor is carrying out ultrasonic bat surveys at Bexhill, Fairlight and Alexandra Park. to track the rare bats Nathusius' Pipistrelle and Kohl's Pipistrelle. It is a remarkable fact that these bats are coming from Latvia and North Africa to our part of the coast.
