.@ecologyhans at @_BCT_ #NatBatConf - some of the factors that can negatively impact #bats, can also impact #insects. Which in turn negatively impacts bats’ ability to feed - a double whammy.

Daniel Hargreaves from @vincentwildlife: We are landlords for lesser and greater horseshoes! Trying to connect local communities and landowners with the local bat reserves is important. But also understand when they don’t want to engage or have publicity.
