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 →

13th September. Possibly the last members' walk for 2023 and it was a lovely calm evening at St Clement's Parish hall at Le Hocq. We explored the little woodland behind the hall. Although there was not a lot of bat activity it was lovely to see some Common Pipistrelles flying quite high above the trees. After a gentle stroll, we crossed over to the benches by the sea wall where we soon found lots of bats zipping up and down the beach, no doubt scooping up lots of insects! Mostly common pips. but there were some lower calls that could be Nathusius or Khul's. We had come prepared with flasks of hot drinks and home-made apple cake so it was a lovely chatty end to the evening. Photos courtesy of Jooj duQuemin ... See MoreSee Less

Are you thinking you would like to do something different with your evenings/spare time/retirement but don’t know what?Join the Jersey Bat Group!We are a small group of bat enthusiasts with a variety of experience, by no means all bat experts!We would love to do more to spread the word island-wide about these fascinating creatures and help protect them, but we need members that would like to get actively involved. If you are interested in the details below, or indeed have another idea as to how you can help, just contact us – enquiries@jerseybatgroup.org – with your contact details and we can give you a call to discuss further.Maybe you would like to be a citizen scientist and encourage others to join in too. You could promote sunset surveys and the great garden bat watch initiative (check out past events on our website for more details). You could also help with placing acoustic monitoring equipment in areas of interest that JBG members or the public have identified to gather information on bat activity and species. ...
