Our final bat walk for the year thanks to the WMCA was last night and there was a great turnout! The bats however have become far less active so its good timing on the walks to now wind down (until next time!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
HOWEVER, not to disappoint anyone we did not only see a few Common & Soprano Pipistrelles but we also got clear readings on a Brown Long Eared Bat and a Grey Long Eared Bat, so that\u2019s not only two new ones to add to the species checklist but also the grey long eared bat is very rare and the brown long eared bat is a priority species. <\/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
