BAT SURVEYS

There are 18 species of bat in the UK, all of which are protected by law. Bats are found roosting in a variety of locations including caves, tunnels, trees and houses in both rural and urban settings. Bats have specific requirements at different times of the year and may use  many different roosts in one annual cycle. In addition to  this bats will use features such as hedgerows in the  environment as commuting corridors while even small    areas of good quality grassland, woodland or river habitat provide important foraging habitat.
