Representations of #bats are everywhere at the moment as we approach #Halloween2023 but bats are still widely misunderstood and undervalued. Please help us continue to inform, educate and engage more people all year round so we can chance misconceptions buff.ly/3KhRObq

HAPPY HALLOWEEN from us & the bats 🦇 #LoveBats #samhain #Halloween

November is here and for bats periods of torpor are lasting longer. Some begin hibernation, to save energy over the colder months, when insects are harder to find. They are using stored fat as fuel to get them through the winter. bats.org.uk/about-bats/a-y… #WinterIsComing #bats

Today's bat (and final from my trip to Thailand): Chaerephon plicatus, half a million bats inhabit this cave. They emerge at dusk in a column to feed at night on planthoppers, a desastrous pest insects for rice plants. Keep on doing your good job for people in Southeast Asia!

A very Merry Christmas from us & the bats 🦇 #LoveBats #bats #MerryChristmas

Please do not disturb hibernating bats. Not only is it illegal to do so but it can endanger their chances of survival through winter as they can use vital fat reserves when they become active unnecessarily.

Volunteers are at the very heart of bat conservation in the UK - without their dedication and support, much of our work would not be possible. And you can be part of it! buff.ly/47XclLz
