A huge thanks to IZW BatLab in Berlin for giving me the chance to participate in this beautiful project and paper! 🦇🖤

Finally! Yesterday evening we caught a troll! 😄
Pipistrellus nathusii captured in Lista has now a radio tag! I’m very curious to see where it goes:)

We are in awe 🤯 Over 100,000 citizens have already sent a message to the European Commission, sharing why they oppose the weakening of EU nature laws.

If you care about nature & support strong EU environmental laws, now is the moment to speak up!

Today we started a little side project to investigate bat box occupancy, and we’ve already found two P. pygmaeus (it’s a lot here in Norway 😄)! 🥳🦇 #bats #batboxes

European Congress of Mammalogy was a blast. 260 people from 41 countries sharing their insights. Highlight for me is recovery of wolves and lynx across Europe. #wolve

I’m so excited!
It’s finally time for #ecm9 European Congress of Mammology

I’ve been out this weekend with the Norwegian Zoological Society for a mine hibernation survey, I’m still amazed bats can live in Norway!
