Caves in a forest....?
Today Veronica, one of the stalwart Wednesday volunteers, and myself spent the day with Dr Simeon Jones the Conservation officer for Carmarthenshire, making up for not being out yesterday!
We started off at a confidential site checking, from a safe distance, that our known roosts of Greater Horseshoe Bats were safe and secure, all seemed well.
The sites also host one of our nicest? spiders' the Cave Orb Spider, Meta menardi a really impressive beast.

Not everyone will see this large spider, especially since it lurks about in dark sometimes damp places such as, caves!, disused tunnels, old wartime bunkers etc, but its a great sight.
