🦇 any Bat people listening to Vernon Kay this morning on BBC2 (around 10.29) might've heard "Craig" give his hilarious 30 second #MoviePromo "The Ecologist, this time it's ecological" haven't laughed that much in ages, and thought it deserved a poster 🤣
Worth listening to! And who is Craig?!

🦇 A huge thank you to all our fantastic volunteers on this Volunteers' Week!

Volunteers are at the very heart of bat conservation in the UK - without their dedication and support, much of our work would not be possible.

Thank you all.

Listen up! It is baby bat season! Please, please, please keep your cat indoors overnight for next few weeks. Seeing multiple cat-damaged or killed bats, some with babies attached.😪 Bats can live >20 years and have just 1 baby/year, so now's a critical time. # bats #cats #conservation #wildlife 🦇

🦇 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 😆

Slowed down to 1/4 speed
