Amazing volunteers from Hampshire Bat Group have been busy putting up bat boxes near the beautiful chalk streams of Alresford and Overton, with help from #WatercressAndWinterbournes Community Grants 🦇 More info on the project: hiwwt.org.uk/blog/hiwwt/boo… Wessex Rivers Trust The National Lottery Heritage Fund

Our bat carers really do an amazing job taking care of sick and injured bats and working hard to release them DM if you are interested in becoming a bat carer for Hampshire Bat Group #bat #bats #ukbats #wildlife #ukwildlife #Hampshire #conservation

We feed our bats meal worms to help then get big and strong. Bats in this country are insectivorous and will be hand fed until they are able to feed themselves like this little pip! #bat #bats #Hampshire #wildlife #ukwildlife #conservation

Our bat carers have to keep a close eye on the bats when they're flying. One of our carers found a little pip in their shoe after a fly! #hampshire #bat #ukbats #wildlife #hampshirewildlife #batcare
