Last week we had predominately Brown Long Eared bats swarming, this week Natterer’s 🦇 Male and female Long Eared’s caught inside the swarming site, but only male Natterer’s so far and mainly young of year.

The Pulsar XG35 thermal scope has been a game changer for surveying. Counting Noctules emerging from a tree roost is so simple compared to trying to see them in the gloom. 🦇 #bats

This year’s Noctule 🦇 pups are well developed already, judging by footage from this morning. I originally set up the Secacam 7 so we knew bats were present at a remote roost before setting off on the 1.5 hour drive to monitor them, but the insight into how bats are using this roost is so valuable
