The Friends of Dog Kennel Hill Wood and Green Dale are holding their annual bat walk this Wednesday 12th September. Meet at 7pm by the picnic benches in Dog Kennel Hill Open Space (this is the small park and wood next to Sainsburys, near the cash machines).


The walk will be led by bat experts from the Bat Conservation Trust and the London Bat Group and we will have bat detectors so we can hear the echo location calls of these fascinating creatures.


The walk will take in Dog Kennel Hill Open Space, the wood and Green Dale Fields. Please wear suitable footwear and clothing for a walk in the "countryside" and a torch for the darker areas. If it's raining heavily the walk will be cancelled (as bats don't like to get wet).


In previous years we have heard soprano pipistrelles, common pipstrelles and noctules! It's a magical thing listening in on bats whose presence is otherwise easy to miss.


This event is FREE, all ages welcome. The first part of the walk in DKH Open Space is wheelchair accessible but the woods and Green Dale fields are not currently.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
