The Jersey Bat Group funded an MSc dissertation to study bats in Jersey’s urban environments. The study focuses not only on species of bat and numbers present in the 4 areas of research but also the impact of light pollution - a major threat to bats and other species.

We look forward to seeing (and sharing) the results of this scientific study once completed. ... See MoreSee Less

Happy Friday everyone! 🙂

This is one of the Common Pipistrelles that we have looked after this year having a drink! 🧃

The Common Pipistrelles are appropriately named as they are the most common species we find on the island - but they are certainly one of the cutest!

If you find a bat during the day time please contact us (The Jersey Bat Group) or New Era Veterinary Hospital and we can arrange appropriate care!

This amazing “Natterers” bat was kindly taken to New Era Veterinary hospital by a member of public after being found on the doorstep of her property during the day.

We work with the staff at New Era to provide care to tired, sick or injured bats and create records of the species we encounter.

On examination by the vet there were no injuries and she appeared very bright.
So after rehydrating and feeding her she was successfully released the same evening!
