🦇It's October! What are bats up to now?
More mating is taking place, and building up fat reserves is becoming crucial to survive the winter season. Bats will start looking for suitable hibernation sites, and beginning periods of torpor.

This little bat enjoyed a weekend of 5* accomodation, and all you can eat mealworms with one of our bat carers. He was very hungry but soon perked up, and was safely re-released close to where he was found. 🦇
It's been a busy summer for our bat carers. This Daubenton's bat was found today clinging to a shop wall in the middle of town, looking distinctly unwell. He is now receiving food, water & a bit of TLC. If you find a bat in an odd place please call the National Bat Helpline: 0345 1300 228
