Bat Monitoring
Posted
on
Recently, the many bat boxes that are scattered around the reserve were checked for occupants by licensed bat handlers.
The team spent a full day and did a thorough check of each and every box.
As it is late in the year most bats will be starting to hibernate now and therefore not roosting in the artificial boxes. However, there was plenty of evidence that the boxes had been used and this tiny Pipistrelle was found resting in a box close to the centre.
Our sincere thanks to David, Stacey and Jenny for giving up their day to carry out the survey.
