Thanks to all who came on our bat walk last Saturday in #Fishlake. The bats didn’t disappoint with 4 different species identified: common pipistrelle, whiskered, long-eared and a noctule seen by @IanThewildside 🦇
Thanks also to Dave Gash, @doncasterGSN and @GetDoncasterMoving!
We recommend all Friends groups get involved with their local Forum and, if you've not got one, try to set one up - they are great places to network, share resources, learn and more - there is strength in numbers 😁
You can't beat a bit of muck! Especially stinky sort. Pongy Corner 2 was in the throes of encouraging youngsters round the fence into the nature reserve. 2 sacks of rubbish cleared; enough wood for a (smelly) bonfire; dead & bloated mole. Lovely. First Aiders & Lifeguard present.
Another fabulous Fun Dog Show put on by @RSPCADRB and sponsored by https://t.co/AGVfBmmAjH. Canine FoSP'er was placed 2nd in the Best Rescue class (rescued by RSPCA). They were all winners though! A great day out for all the family.
Sponsorship opportunities still available for our community defibs.
As one of the furthest communities from an A&E department in Doncaster these defibs have proven to be vital for the people of Thorne and Moorends. Please support us in keeping them here 👇🏻
We’ve only gone and done it!! Our first Green Flag Award for Hexthorpe Flatts Park. 🍾 🎉 🎊. A massive thank you to all who have helped. @CentralAreaTeam@DoncasterGSN@MyDoncaster
The recent warm weather has been great for, moths, butterflies and dragonflies.
Here are Marbled White Spot and Large Yellow Underwing moths, a Marbled White butterfly and a stunning field of Orchids from Bentley Community Woodland.
