| | | Thank You Susan Thacker RSPB
The RSPB have a charity event running where a £1 donation is rewarded with a
Brooch representing British Wildlife I had picked up a Dragonfly,Bumblebee,along
with some Butterflies and Birds but no BATS.
I contacted the RSPB and asked if there was a BAT in the collection, a very nice
lady called Susan Thacker told me there was and arranged to send one to me it
was a Pipistrelle.
Thank you very much Susan that was very kind of you and the RSPB
best regards
nightshade

I'm glad you posted this Nightshade  because i was at Bempton today and decided to check if they had any Pipistrelle badges, and they had one also picked up 3 Butterfly ones and a Snowy Owl that is supposed to be rare |

I have 28 now, mostly birds but I do have the Pipistrelle and a Badger too! They're fantastic little badges. |

A friend of mine had a good collection of these badges, which she kept on a hat. Sadly, the hat was in her caravan when it was stolen from her driveway. We have been picking up as many as possible to replace those she lost. They really are very good badges and it's all in a good cause. |

yes they're fab these badges, I use them as pins in my cork board it actually looks quite effective esp the damselflies. Or I have the swallow one pinned to my ceiling to pin up my swallow mobile. Expensive drawing pins I know, but it's for a good cause and they're far prettier.
I've lost count of how many I have bt I DON'T have as bumble bee!!! I shall now be on the hunt for one!! |
