A few London Bat Group members had ladder training today at High Elms Country Park. Run by Ishpi Bletchley and Paul Thorne! 🍂🦇 📸: Georgina Young #lovebats #londonbatgroup #london #londonbats #wildlife #conservation #bats

There he goes! This was the male Nathusius’ pipistrelle we trapped last night in London (under licence with the National Nathusius’ Pipistrelle Project) and we nicknamed him Richard! Such a handsome and chunky young man 😍🦇 #lovebats #londonbatgroup #pipistrelle #nathusiuspipistrelle #london #londonbats #wildlife #conservation #bats

Something a bit closer to home... this handsome (and somewhat smug looking) common pip was trapped in Dorset as part of the Dorset Bat Group’s autumn swarming survey 🦇😍 His forearm was marked harmlessly with a chalk pen so we could identify and release him again straight away if he was re-captured. #lovebats #londonbatgroup #pipistrelle #commonpipistrelle #dorset #wildlife #conservation #bats

Another rare bat we saw in Dorset although we would love to see this bat in London! Barbastelle are sweet bats that have an almost pug-like face 😍🦇 #lovebats #londonbatgroup #barbastelle #dorset #wildlife #conservation #bats

This was another bat we were lucky to see in Dorset. The greater horseshoe bat is rare in Britain and largely confined to southwest England and south Wales. Greater horseshoe bats are distinguished from other British bats by their complex horseshoe-shaped noseleaf (which they use for echolocation). #lovebats #londonbatgroup #greaterhorseshoebat #horseshoebat #dorset #wildlife #conservation #bats

A few London Bat Group members recently went to Dorset to join a mass autumn swarming survey led by Dorset Bat Group. Some species of bat (particularly Myotis sp.) swarm in large numbers at this time of year and we don’t exactly know why. One likely purpose of swarming is for breeding. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This Natterer’s bat was trapped as part of this survey and had it’s details recorded, was ringed and then released. #lovebats #londonbatgroup #natterersbat #natterers #dorset #wildlife #conservation #bats
