🦇As the weather gets warmer, brown long-eared bats will start shedding their ear muffs which protects their fragile ears from the cold during hibernation.
If you find these on the floor in your local area, you are in luck - brown long-eared bats are around! 🥰
🦇 We’re delighted to launch our Connecting People and Landscapes Community Grant Scheme, supporting community groups - particularly underserved communities - based in Devon near our focus farm areas.
Grants of up to £500 are available: www.devoncommunities.org.uk/small-grants...
The latest @gbatnet.bsky.social "My Field for Dummies" is on Urban Bats. Robin Rowland from the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland investigates how #bats 🦇 respond behaviorally and physiologically to urbanisation and anthropogenic structures in Australian www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTej...
🦇Join us and @ucllifesciences.bsky.social on 15 April, 5:00–8.30pm, for a screening of The Invisible Mammal followed by a Q&A session, bat walk and drinks at a local pub.
This is a free event but you have to register here: lnkd.in/eRj6cbtY . Donations are optional but always more than welcome!
Bats provide critical ecosystem services. #Bats 🦇 prevent crop damage and can help reduced insecticide use, three examples:
USA cotton farmers benefit by $3.7-53 billion per year
Italian apple orchards benefit by €551/ha
Rice farmers in Europe benefit by €56/ha

New paper alert:
>80k nacelle-height recordings and stereo-thermal 3D tracks show that bats sing in the rotor-swept zone and circle turbine nacelles. We need smarter, species-sensitive curtailment that aligns both climate and biodiversity goals.
