Welcome to the website of the Nottinghamshire Bat Group
We are a group dedicated to the conservation of Nottinghamshire's bats. Up until very recently we were known as the South Nottinghamshire Bat Group but have now combined resources to become a grouyp for the whole county. Over the next few months this website will develop to show our new county wide coverage.
The following are just a few of the things we do.
- Record bat distribution
- Survey roost sites
- Give talks on bat conservation
- Organise batwalks
- Care for injured bats
- Arrange training for members working towards their roost visitors licence
Bats are one of the most misunderstood group of animals on the planet and are often treated with fear and superstition. We hope that during your visit to our website you will learn more about this fascinating creature.
Winter To survive the cold winters when insect numbers are very low bat will seak a cool and humid site to hiberate. This may be a cave or tunnel or even a hole in a tree. They will wake up from time to time to drink and feed if the weather is mild.
