A new design has been added to the collection of fire pokers which is a larger and heavier arrow head design to make it easier to manipulate wood and logs.  All pokers have the arrow head for this purpose as I have found over the years and trying different designs that this is better for pulling wood to where you want it.

”Bats of Nottinghamshire” publication by Nottinghamshire Bat Group

Congratulations Nottinghamshire Bat Group on the completion of the ”Bats of Nottinghamshire” publication. A huge amount of time and effort has gone into its production…data gathering, analysis, writing and editing. The Echolocation Location project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund has dramatically increased our knowledge of bats, and the skill set of volunteers, and as a Nottinghamshire ecologist I enjoyed venturing out to my local woods and countryside with a bat detector for the project. Courtenay was asked to create and design the book cover artwork. To find out more about the publication please contact the Nottinghamshire Bat Group.
