Our walk was significantly quieter this week so it was really interesting to see how the change in weather really affects the hunting patterns of the bats in Ten Acres. However, we got a few really clear recordings including of two completely new bats on the site \u2013 Whiskered Myotis<\/strong> and Brandt\u2019s Myotis <\/strong>in the woodland areas of Ten Acres Conservations area. It was exciting to still be discovering new bats on the site and to get such lovely clear recordings of them this time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We did also pick up the Western Barbastelle again but were once again not able to get a super clear recording we were happy with so it\u2019s still on the maybe pile for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a list of the species we found on site this week according to the Echo Meter 2 \u2013 a wonderful bat detection system that displays the bat calls in real time, translates them into sound we can hear, maps their GPS and auto \u2013 IDs the bats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
