Bat season is here again!

With the first three weeks of the bat survey season already completed, we now have over 18 surveys under our belts and have been to some stunning locations.

So far we have found a new Lesser Horseshoe maternity colony and a handful of small Common Pipistrelle and Brown Long-eared bat roosts. In addition, after visiting one of our mitigation bat roosts created as part of a European Protected Species Mitigation Licence (EPSML), we’ve discovered that it has been fully occupied as planned by another Lesser Horseshoe maternity colony of 80 individuals. Let’s hope the warm, dry weather continues!
