Light Pollution

Although there is acknowledgement that light pollution can be a ‘source of annoyance to people, it can be harmful to wildlife, waste energy and detract from the enjoyment of the night sky’ (CPRE 2016) there is only about a fifth of England that retains skies completely free of light pollution.

Light pollution is known to have an impact on species from insects to turtles.  When it comes to bats, light pollution can impact on foraging site bat assemblages, commuting routes, can delay or prevent bats emerging from roosts, or can in ‘in some cases lead to bats abandoning or becoming entombed in the roost’ (BCT). Read More →

Great Garden Bat Watch

Please join the Jersey Bat Group for the second Great Garden Bat Watch!

This event combines the joy of (hopefully!) watching bats with citizen science based research that can help us better understand bats across Jersey.

We are particularly keen to receive sightings of bats from St Helier and other urban areas around the Island to help us with our research into Jersey’s urban bat populations.

Next Wednesday 6th January: members' meeting, 19.30 either blended (face-to-face and zoom) or zoom only depending on the regulations at the time. The topic: using static bat detectors to demonstrate bat migration activity.

Adrian Bicker will be giving a talk via zoom on his research which looks at using static bat detectors to demonstrate bat migration activity. There will be lots of information about how he has approached and developed this project and what changes in activity levels over long-period (3 month) surveys –could mean. All very relevant for our own studies and interesting to see what parallels can be drawn with what we observe in Jersey.

Please email us at enquiries@jerseybatgroup.org if you will be attending & we can send you the zoom link for the meeting.
