Hertfordshire & Middlesex Bat Group: Working hard to conserve our bat populations and their habitat

[Herts&MiddxBatGroup @HMBatGroup]

NE has purchased a portion of the Hexton Manor Estate and HMBG will be working with BBG to start surveying the bats there this year. It's absolutely beautiful with chalk streams and valleys and will hopefully one day have much of it restored to species-rich chalk grassland.

A building is being restored in West Sussex, by the Vincent Wildlife Trust, for what may be the first breeding colony of the rare greater horseshoe bat in the county.
The Trust bought a derelict farm building, where pups had been born. https://t.co/tYiT7Xopfv @vincentwildlife

🚨NEW VIDEO🚨
Thanks to much generosity, we have saved a derelict stable for greater horseshoe bats. But the building is falling apart and we urgently need help to make it a safe haven for this rare species and pups.

There is a lot of misinformation circulating which poses a threat to bats by fuelling unfounded fear in people. To provide clarity and science based facts, we have prepared a set of FAQs in relation to bats and COVID-19. https://t.co/Ui6pZ7D82r #InternationalBatAppreciationDay
