Instead of the Wednesday 6th meeting, we would appreciate if members and non-members alike could undertake a sunset and/or sunrise survey for bats. Please ensure you do this whilst also complying with the current lock-down restrictions including social distancing if you carry out the survey away from home.

Details on how to undertake the survey can be found on our website: www.jerseybatgroup.org/2019/05/21/sunset-sunrise-survey/

We look forward to receiving your data via the online form in the website link.

Short video attached courtesy of our Research Officer Piers. This video explains how bats move across the Island and how habitat type may influence these movements. Bats can move large distances via annual migration. Jersey is a signatory to EUROBATS and as such has an obligation to protect bat roosts and habitats and to promote bat research programmes. Under resolution 8.3 parties are also urged to support research into bat migration. You can help the Jersey comply with its obligations by recording your bat sightings via the links on the jerseybatgroup.org website, via the iRecord app or on the Jersey Biodiveristy Centre Website. ...
