With this warm weather bats are still out and about so look up to see bats fluttering around. It's not easy to identify bat species in flight without a bat detector but our 'What bat is that' leaflet might be able to help identify some of the most common species: cdn.bats.org.uk/uploads/pdf/…?

The agricultural impact resulting from the decline of insectivorous #bats 🦇 is est. to be at $3.7 billion/year. These bats are critical predators of crop-damaging insects & contribute to the balance of the ecosystem they live in. Protecting #wildlife health is key to the future.

Warm weather has returned to many parts of the UK. Bats will be taking advantage of this to eat as many insects as possible before cold weather returns. Do take the opportunity to head out and watch the magical dance of bats in your area.
The @BCT_NBMP #SunsetSurvey runs until the end of October so there is an opportunity to take part in that too bats.org.uk/our-work/nationa…

There are over 1,400 species of bats in the world, making up 1/5 of all mammal species and 1/4 of British mammals. Four of the UK’s 17 breeding bat species are red listed as being at risk of extinction. Learn more about UK bat species: buff.ly/3ubI3Cz

International Bat Night was last night but there is not reason why we can't continue to celebrate bats! Bats are widely misunderstood and undervalued so please donate and help us do more all year round: buff.ly/3fyG3uW

Today Malawi celebrates 59 Years of Independence! We have been lucky enough to have been working to conserve bats in Malawi for 11 of those years. We wish all Malawians a joyful and prosperous journey ahead and look forward to the next 59 years!

Great to see our work published in @AER_ESE_BES on the impacts of music festivals on #bats 🦇
Whilst you are out enjoying the music this summer, spare a thought for our native fauna who often have to endure these increasingly commonplace events.
