A reminder about the talk on Wednesday 28 Feb on autumn swarming by Molly Watson. For those of you unsure of what swarming actually is, here is a nice quote from Bat Conservation International:Swarming is a bat behaviour that is hard to describe without making it sound like a giant raging party for swingers. Before hibernation, many northern hemisphere bat species attend swarming events by gathering in large groups of up to thousands of individuals. At a suitable cave or mine, these groups fly around in a flurry of chasing, finding quick opportunities to mate in the chaos. In this setting, bats find mates from other colonies, increasing the population’s genetic diversity. Members you should have already received your Zoom link, non members can use the following link. The talk is free but a donation to the Jersey Bat Group is very welcome:www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/winter-talks-bat-swarming-by-molly-watson-tickets-813506910067?fbclid=IwAR...There are limited tickets available.

Our first members meeting for 2024 was on 29th January and appropriately titled (given the recent weather) 'Bats in Winter'.Liz Walsh gave a great talk on the hibernation project that she has been participating in for several years. We learned a bit about bat ecology, about the likely signs and features of hibernation roosts and the curious places some bats choose. Apparently, some bats like to hibernate behind log piles - well, they will have plenty of places to choose from this winter!We heard about the considerable past effort surveying likely sites across the island, and the continuing monitoring of certain selected sites. We also had a fun time trying to identify various species from photos that had been taken during surveys. Quite a challenge when they are tucked up in cracks or crevices with their wings carefully folded away! ... See MoreSee Less

Winter Talk: Jersey Grey Long-eared Bats by Piers SanganTime: Feb 6, 2024 07:00 PM LondonJoin us for a talk presented by Piers Sangan, a well-established Ecologist in Jersey, with over 15 years of experience working with a wide range of protected species in Jersey and across the Channel Islands, specialising in bats. He will introduce the fascinating world of the grey long-eared bags with a discussion of what has been discovered through the Jersey Grey Long-eared Bat Project that he started in 2019. The project is the only one in the Channel Islands that continuously monitors known established grey long-eared bat maternity roosts and works to improve the knowledge of their biology and ecology. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/810679914447?aff=oddtdtcreator ...
