Open Day at Cromwell Bottom - goods on display
We're spending our AVIVA grant money now, and the Open Day was a great chance to show off some of our purchases - and to talk to people about how we'll be using them. Here's our pond dipping equipment - enough for a group of 20 to all have a go at scooping creatures out and inspecting them safely close up.
We've also got bat detectors and our next purchase will be a moth trap so there'll be lots of things happening down here at Cromwell Bottom through the year.
We'll publicise dates here on the blog as we get organised, so keep checking for updates!

We hope you can spot the AVIVA certificate amongst all the items on display? |
Open Day at Cromwell Bottom Nature Reserve 22nd of August 2015
The weather (always the priority) started a little doubtful, however the day turned out fantastic. Lots of families called in to have drinks and cake and to take part in Tombola and raffles. Pictures, books, DVD's were bought for our donations, there were animals to pet, including pythons, coral snakes, hissing cockroaches and bearded dragons - all harmless!
The bird display was very popular with little owl, Brown Wood owl, Gyrfalcon and Harris Hawk being fed. The Soft Toys on the "Little Paws Rescue" were a hit with the children. Biscuits, cakes, tea and coffee in huge quantities. Two guided wildlife walks were given during the day.

Little Egret
Little Egret spotted on river before flying towards Brighouse,
so keep your eyes peeled it might pop up again.
