16 July 2015 - 7:00pm - 9:00pm


An evening talk with Daniel Greenwood of London Wildlife Trust looking at the amazing world of London's bats


Join London Wildlife Trust for an evening discussing the world of bats at Rye Books. The talk will be given by Sydenham Hill Wood Conservation Officer Daniel Greenwood with a focus on the variety of local bats found in the area.


Sydenham Hill Wood is one of the largest remaining remnants of the Great North Wood, a landscape of woods and commons which originated from the wildwood that colonised after the end of the last Ice Age, 10,000 years ago. This means that an interesting range of bats have been present at Sydenham Hill Wood and the surrounding woods for centuries.


Targeted conservation work is undertaken at Sydenham Hill Wood by London Wildlife Trust staff and volunteers to enhance habitats for these declining animals. All our data suggests the work is succeeding, reflecting general stabilised populations of some species in the UK.


Bats also have a fascinating relationship to humans which is reflected in literature and wider culture, namely in Bram Stoker's Dracula and the TV, film and comic book franchise, Batman.


This is a free event, space is limited so places will be given on a first come first served basis.


Coffee, Tea & Cake available

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
