The Big Norwich Bat Project Part 1

Last year I reserved my home square kilometre in Thorpe St Andrew to participate in the Big Norwich Bat Project http://www.norwichbatgroup.org.uk/project.html.

I have always been conscious of the presence of bats in my back garden so was interested to find out more. The survey equipment registered 35 Common Pipistrells, 3 Noctules and 2 unidentifiable Pipistrells.

Today the monitoring equipment was set up for this years survey. It was interesting to note that insect traps had been added from last year. Logically certain types of insect population I assume are linked to bat population.

Stay tuned for the results!
