🦇 Today marks the end of #batweek & #batappreciationmonth but remember, bats don't need a hashtag to be appreciated all the time! And they need to be appreciated, as do all the volunteers who care for, survey and give up their time to educate and bring bat awareness around the world - thank you ❤️

🦇 any Bat people listening to Vernon Kay this morning on BBC2 (around 10.29) might've heard "Craig" give his hilarious 30 second #MoviePromo "The Ecologist, this time it's ecological" haven't laughed that much in ages, and thought it deserved a poster 🤣
Worth listening to! And who is Craig?!

🦇 A huge thank you to all our fantastic volunteers on this Volunteers' Week!

Volunteers are at the very heart of bat conservation in the UK - without their dedication and support, much of our work would not be possible.

Thank you all.

Listen up! It is baby bat season! Please, please, please keep your cat indoors overnight for next few weeks. Seeing multiple cat-damaged or killed bats, some with babies attached.😪 Bats can live >20 years and have just 1 baby/year, so now's a critical time. # bats #cats #conservation #wildlife 🦇

I'm still here, just working on projects I can't share at the moment!
I can however share this #Springwatch live cam watercolour, pen and ink sketch I did this morning 😊

So glad they reached you 😊 🦇❤️🦇

Probably about the same mentality as a Pomeranian 🤣

Thank you for sharing @batconservation.bsky.social 🦇❤️🦇
