πŸ¦‡ Day 23 Advent: Brown long-eared bat!
Huge ears (almost body-length!), whisper-quiet echolocation, and a slow, fluttery flight.
Feeds along hedgerows, gardens and woodland edges.
A magical night hunter. πŸŒ™βœ¨

A bat box on a tree trunk. In the distance is a tall hill and a reservoir. The tree trunk has lots of fungi growing on it. They look like brown mushrooms.

A slightly closer view of the bat box. It is made from a section of tree branch. It has 3 slits underneath. Bat roosts are protected by law in the UK.

Walking round RSPB Dove Stone today and spotted this rather rustic looking πŸ¦‡ box!

Almost missed it as I was looking at the fabulous display of fungi on the trunk.

Entrance to Vincent Park where the bat walk took place. There is a road then a green fence with trees behind.

Led a fantastic bat walk on Tuesday for a community group in Godley, Greater Manchester. We picked up common and soprano pips, and myotis species - likely Brandt's or whiskered.

There are 9 recorded species for Greater Manchester. Can you name them?

Such a rewarding thing to do, and seeing bats close up is a real privilege; so fragile yet so tough and tenacious. πŸ¦‡πŸ–€πŸ¦‡

Help! I've found a bat - Advice - Bat Conservation Trust Bats sometimes turn up in places you might not expect to find them. When that happens, we're here to help.

I'm part of a network of trained, vaccinated bat ambulance drivers and carers across Greater Manchester. If you find a grounded bat in the UK, check out information from @batconservation.bsky.social (see below). πŸ¦‡πŸ–€πŸ¦‡

Weather is awful up here in Tameside in the UK, so that's scuppered my plans for exploring a new park with the bat detector! If it clears up, I might sit in the garden later and see who's about!

Batting in Stansted Forest, Hampshire tonight, and it has blown my tiny mind! So many different sounds here compared to at home (bat and not-bat). Going to take me a while to go through all the calls!

Had a very batty day with my niece yesterday: drawing bats, painting bats and looking for bats. The common pips didn't disappoint and put on quite a display! You're never too young to start batting! πŸ¦‡πŸ–€πŸ¦‡

Common pips and Daubenton's on the duck pond last night.

Really hard to listen for the Daub's as the pips drown everything out, but looking back at my recordings, I think I can see some calls.

I took my Magenta 5 and EMT2.

South Lancashire Bat Group has been surveying millponds in Bury for about 30 years. Last night marked the end of this year's surveying (we got it done in a record 5 nights). Lots of common pips on this pond and Daubenton's on many of the others. πŸ¦‡πŸ–€πŸ¦‡

Another evening in the garden with the bat detector.

Been out three times this week and this little common pip seems to follow the same pattern each night - feeds in our garden for about 30 minutes shortly after sunset then disappears off to hunt somewhere else. πŸ¦‡πŸ–€πŸ¦‡

Night scented flowers are a great way to encourage moths, which are a tasty snack for many bats here in the UK. I was looking for 'night-scented stocks' but the best my garden centre could do was 'night-scented phlox'! Hopefully, they will also be popular with the moths!
