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

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!

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

🦇WAKEY WAKEY🦇 Bats are more active this week & we had more rescues including this common pipistrelle from Ballymoney - he had a run in with a cat and was lucky to escape with just a small puncture in the membrane. Thanks to finder Nathan & our ambulance driver Ian #LoveBats

If you find a bat on the ground or exposed area during the day it may need help. What to do: 1. Put the bat in a box, using gloves or tea towel (advice here: bats.org.uk/advice/help-iv…) 2. Call the National Bat Helpline on 0345 1300 228 (UK) 3. Can't get through or the Helpline is
