In the UK, legal protection and conservation actions have played a critical role in allowing bat populations to begin to recover from historical declines. We still have a long way to go which is why it is essential these efforts continue. www.bats.org.uk/news/2026/06...

Hibernation checks today with Devon Bat Group as part of the @batconservation.bsky.social NBMP monitoring scheme. Always nice to look at horseshoe bats, and hibernation checks really help with the bat season withdrawal symptoms!

🦇 I thought I'd try and film the Soprano pipistrelles foraging over the Royal Military Canal last night as part of the @batconservation.bsky.soc NBMP Sunrise/Sunset Survey, and this little one decided he was ready for his close up 😆

A blurry common pipistrelle we saw tonight. Didn't get any Daubenton's bats unfortunately (I've recorded them here before). I'll keep looking out for them though! NBMP surveys are a great way to connect with nature! Check out @batconservation.bsky.social to get involved! #bats #britishbats
