The Soprano Pipistrelle is just one of the four bat species we know visits @CastleParkBS - the other species being Common Pipistrelle, Daubentons and Serotine.

[Bat Conservation Trust @_BCT_]

The countdown continues - 17 days for #Halloween! Bat species number 2/18 resident UK species is the soprano pipistrelle! This species is very similar to the common pipistrelle but was identified as a separate species in the 1990's due to it's echolocation call's higher frequency

@JQWT @ColinWoodward00 We will make sure to get some! The findings so far are being displayed at the museum. We are expecting similar items from this area but you never know what is going to turn up! If you are in town then pop over to see the archaeologists, they will be happy to show you finds so far

This week the tennis courts in Castle Park are closed to allow LP Archaeology to investigate underneath the tarmac. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
