Great partnership working providing improvements to a wonderful site 👍🏻

Think this little juvenile is feeling much better now! Haven’t had a bat with so many mites for a very long time Dr Erica McAlister sorry I didn’t save any! #batcare #Parasites

Can watch these little guys for ages. Remember it’s very important to stretch!! 🤣 #batcare #bats #wildlife #volunteering

Such a gorgeous species of #bat 🦇. Always a joy caring for one & hopefully he will be released soon #leislers #batcare #wildlife

Just 😍😍. She was in a really bad state when collected so 🤞🏻#batcare #bats #wildlife #juvenile #longeared

3 brown long eared #bat #juveniles in my care now - still one of my favourite species 😍. Worrying but not surprising that they are struggling to find food. We need a massive overhaul of attitude & action for #insects #actionfornature

Nothing better than feeling the wind on your face, listening to and watching birds and inspiring the younger generation to be wild at heart! #wildlife #NatureLover #outdoors

Another reminder not to use fly traps!!This girly was stuck, in a poor state and it took daily baths to get everything off. Remember that insects are good and very much needed! Pics just after rescue, a few days later then before release #batcare #rehabilitation #insects

Great diverse turnout to a bat event last night with >200 people! Surreal watching my #autumn watch segment but its a great summary of #batcare. Only a few pips emerged but people’s reaction to hearing them is precious. #bats #churches Essex Bat Group

Lovely to be the guest speaker at the Billericay Rotary Club Charter Lunch today and hear about their wonderful members and charitable contributions. Truly inspiring. Hope I also inspired some #wildlife #action #bats Essex Wildlife Trust Essex Bat Group

Thankfully #batcare during winter is quieter but we always get a few disturbed from building works. This lady was under a tile lifted to fix a water leak. A reminder to always think bats could be present. She will be released when it’s a tad warmer! #bats

Ringing details received of a Nightingale caught at Abberton 🇬🇧 in May 2023 - ringed at Tanji, The Gambia 🇬🇲 in January 2020. 4 years, 8 migrations. Ace! 👌

Love doing this bat hibernation survey although the way down is much more fun than the climb out! Thanks Essex Bat Group #bats #survey #hibernation

I did not expect my job to be so varied!I’ve learnt so much, especially about livestock management over the past few weeks (lambing), and I am so very grateful for such a fantastic team. Couldn’t ask for better people 😊 Essex Wildlife Trust #conservation #grazing

After receiving a nasty cat attack lactating female (sadly not a good outcome), feeding and watching this little girl go from strength to strength helps! #batcare #pups #rehabilitation

I’ve only a few in …. 🤦🏼‍♀️ really should learn to keep my mouth shut. 6 (cute) new patients in 2 days #batcare #pups #bats #rehabilitation

Ever wondered how #bat #pups build up their muscles?! Well, they do press ups of course!! #rehabilitation #babies

Babies babies babies!! Ringing House sparrow and Swallow chicks and caring for bat pups…it’s been a good day! #birdringing #science #batcare #birds #bats
