Annnddd the answer is Natterer's did you spot the ski tip shape to the tip of the ear? This is from one of our hibernation checks today. A very blonde looking individual, especially in Siobhan's photo on the left.

[Berks Bat Group @BerksBatGroup]

Morning underground at s site that has not been surveyed for a while, only three bats but an absail down into a 70ft shaft was enough to be going on with.

@wildliferescuer Just need a mild, calm, dry enough spell…

[Berks Bat Group @BerksBatGroup]

Hib checks today. Big suprise to see a barb in one of our little ice hoses and 20 plus noctules in a hibernation box.

[Berks Bat Group @BerksBatGroup]

Interesting and thought provoking day yesterday at the bat care conference.
