On Sunday last Surlingham residents had a guided tour of the Surlingham Winbirri vineyards.  An interesting evening where we learned much about the art of wine production and tasted the delicious product at the end.

Norfolk Bat Survey

Posted on 24/05/2013 by Surlingham
Chris Dunlop says:
 
“I recently volunteered to take part in the ongoing Norfolk Bat Survey http://www.batsurvey.org/.  I signed up to survey (Ordnance Survey 1km grid square) TG3106, which covers the centre of Surlingham.  I collected a detector from David Nobbs, at Wheatfen.  Then in the evening I set this up in my garden on the Green, and left it overnight to record the echo-location calls of any bats nearby.  I repeated this for two nights, in the gardens of friends living in different parts of the TG3106 square. Then I returned the detector to Wheatfen, and posted the memory card from the detector to Stuart Newson, who is running the survey.”
 
Just a few days later I received the following, encouraging report:
 
“Hi Chris, many thanks for getting in touch, and for taking part in the Norfolk Bat Survey
 
I’ve enclosed a summary of bats recorded on your 1-km square here as an attachment – which included an impressive five species – Common pipistrelle, Soprano pipistrelle, Noctule, Brown long-eared bat, and a ‘Myotis’ species. 
 
Many thanks for taking part. If you would like to cover another 1-km square or know anyone else who might be interested please pass on the word.”
 
There is more about the project at http://www.batsurvey.org/.  Other ‘squares’ are available around Surlingham and elsewhere.
