Baker Consultants Open Day

I would like to thank Andrew Baker and his team at Baker Consultants for a very interesting and enjoyable evening at their new Cromford Station premises.

The evening began with a warm welcome and introduction by Andrew, and an outline of the ecology landscape for 2011.

Senior Ecologist, Paul Howden-Leach then took over the helm and demonstrated the new Wildlife Acoustics SM2 Remote Bat Detector equipment. Paul recently took this equipment to the National Bat Conference at Loughborough University, showcasing its benefits over other products on the market and how its improved functionality can aid with bat call data analysis.

We then donned our boots and coats for a guided local heritage walk around Cromford, with an amusing and informative history talk about Richard Arkwright and his cotton spinning mill in the village. The return walk along the river was lead by Senior Ecologist, Kelly Clark who showed various bat detecting devises in use and explained some of the 'clicks' & 'cracks' made by the equipment and how these relate to different bat species and activities.

All in all, a very pleasant evening and a great opportunity to meet some of the Baker team. Very tasty scones too!
