Great fun for my children finding all the bats @norwichcastle.bsky.social today. Still one more day to check out their Halloween activities tomorrow. 🦇

Bats are brilliant! Let us know if you spot any out and about this Halloween. Remember they aren't scary. They are small fluffy and we would love you to join us and find out more about these often misunderstood little creatures!

Winter Talks are back this month! What better way to celebrate Halloween than joining us for an evening to find out how bats evolved? (Please note this is a repeat of a previous talk, back by popular demand for those who missed out last time.) 🦇

Hazards that you don't expect in rural Norfolk, we nearly caught a bongo in our harp trap! Another great night at Watatunga Wildlife Reserve. Several Nathusius' pipistrelles caught. (Video Ebonie Lambo-Hills) 🦇

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the bat walk at Eaton Park this evening. Great to see the noctules and all three species of pipistrelle. 🦇

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
September 19, 2025 at 9:18 PM
Success! After nil results last week, last night on the east coast we managed to tag 10 Nathusius' pipistrelles so that we can track their movements & find out more about their migration behaviour. Thanks to our amazing team of volunteers who make this research possible. 🦇
