Lower Sixth Biology Field Trip

The lower sixth Biology students were in sunny South Devon over half term at Slapton Ley Field centre.

They honed their sampling and statistics skills studying ecological energetics, biodiversity and zonation. We also found time for mammal trapping in which we secured a beautiful field mouse and identification of native moths from the overnight light trap.

A particular highlight was the evening bat walk and we were lucky to see the emergence of a large number of horseshoe bats from a roost in the village.
