Important note about the maps

The distribution maps are based on the records of both (north and south) Nottinghamshire Bat Groups.

The map opposite shows how many species have been recorded in each part of the county. For the purposes of this map Whiskered/Brandt's and Common/Soprano Pipistrelle have been recorded as single species'.

The dots on the map represent an area 3.3km x 3.3km square. They do not represent a full picture of where the species occurs but just where we have found them (not all of our records are on computer yet so some records may be missing). Important note for ecological consultants - please do not use these maps for data searches as they may not present an up to date picture of distribution. Please contact the bat group or the Nottingham Biological Records Centre (Nottingham Natural History Museum, Wollaton Hall, Nottinham, NG8 2AE Tel: 0115 915 3900).
