Do you know of a bat roost near you, or do you have bats roosting on your property? Help us monitor how different bat species are faring across the UK by taking part in the Roost Count. All you need to do is to count bats emerging from the roosts on two or more evenings during the summer. It’s easy to take part!
Scope:
At present we are able to produce Roost Count trends for common pipistrelle, soprano pipistrelle, serotine, Natterer's bat, brown long-eared bat, lesser horseshoe bat and greater horseshoe bat as they often roost in buildings, making them easier to monitor.
