We had a fascinating time at Landport Community Garden recording the wide variety of wildlife found in this lovely walled garden on the edge of Lewes.

During a sunset survey on the 6th June we watched the UK’s largest bat, the Noctule, swoop over the garden and found Smooth Newts in the small pond.

The next day, on the 7th June, we recorded 46 different species of animal, the highlights being a grass snake, many slow worms, caddis fly larvae, dragonfly nymphs, mullein moths and a rose chafer beetle in a rose!
