This 2.5 day intermediate Bats course will provide you with the surveying and identification skills you need to for monitoring and conservation projects. Britain hosts a diverse array of 18 bat species united by common threats: diminishing food supplies, loss of natural habitats, and scarcity of safe roosting sites. Despite their crucial roles in pest control, seed dispersal, and maintaining ecological balance, bats are increasingly under threat.
