Such a great talk by Henry Schofield at the #NatBatConf and I have so many questions about this fascinating discovery!

Henry Schofield asked questions about florescence in lesser horseshoe bats which is only found in adult bats! #NatBatConf Greater horseshoes and other horseshoe species do not appear to florescence!

Encouraging use of drone technology for bat surveys of complex buildings, lots of safety considerations but revealing results #NatBatConf

The annual conference 🦇 bat walk led by members of Durham Bat Group. Soprano and common pips put in an appearance, but the highlight of the walk was the talk about the work the bat group does at the cathedral. During summer, patrols go out twice a day round the cathedral ...cont. #NatBatConf
Durham Cathedral lit up at night.

New BCT research on public perception of bats - seeing a bat in person makes people more positive towards bats, reinforces importance of public engagement involving educational bats. Look forward to seeing full results soon #NatBatConf

Danielle Smith of BCT talking about regenerative agriculture and community engagement as a means to conserve 9 target species (7 bats 🦇). 70% of land in the UK is agricultural land - the scheme encourages farmers to put 10% aside for nature. Species monitoring will measure impact.

Our very own Naomi Webster is talking about an attitude survey which we have been carrying out. The survey assessed the attitude, knowledge and opinion of #bats. Its results are top secret but we will be publishing the results soon. #NatBatConf

The #NatBatConf brings together the whole bat conservation community. It's an opportunity to share knowledge, create new cooperations and generally get together.
