Yeovil Big Bat Count - 19th August 2023

Despite changing the date at the last moment due to the weather, there was a great turnout for the first successful Big Bat Count across Yeovil. Organised by Helen from the Wildlife Trust, around 35 people in 10 teams surveyed across Yeovil, and recorded 92 bat records.

The most frequent species was the common pipistrelle with over a third of the records. this was followed by soprano pipistrelle, serotine and noctule. Other AutiIDed records of rarer bats such as barbastelle and Bechstein's will undergo further analysis of the recordings.
