JBG Online talk - Gardening for bats and other wildlife - 22nd March 19.30We are pleased to advise that the above-mentioned talk is confirmed. Here are some brief details:The seemingly small changes that can be made to our green spaces and gardens, especially the way we manage them, can actually add real benefits for wildlife. This talk will look at key things to include and avoid in your garden to make the most of opportunities for a variety of wildlife, with a particular focus on the real stars of the night - bats! Lisa is the Head of Conservation Services at the Bat Conservation Trust. She has an MSc in Biological Recording and holds Natural England licences for bat work. In her spare time, she volunteers with her local bat group, leading bat walks and giving talks. She became addicted to bats after attending her first bat walk with BrumBats back in 2008. Lisa also enjoys spending time in her own wildlife garden at home.We hope that you can attend. The zoom invitation details have been sent out to all members.Topic: Gardening for bats and other wildlifeTime: Mar 22, 2023 07:30 PM LondonWe are also giving members of the public the opportunity to join us.

Jersey Bat Group
The Jersey Bat Group (JBG) is a registered Jersey charity with the aims: to survey and monitor bat populations, roosts, hibernacula and foraging sites in Jersey; to provide information and education regarding bats to its members and the Jersey public; and, where possible, to take steps to help protect local bat populations.JBG are seeking a new Chairperson to lead the group. He or she will be responsible for ensuring that the Committee functions effectively, that there is full participation during committee and members meetings, that all relevant matters are discussed and that effective decisions are made and carried out. Between meetings the Chairperson will need to keep in touch with others and see how the things that they have committed to do are progressing. The Chairperson may from time to time need to represent the group, or find the most suitable representative from the group as a whole, depending on what is required (e.g. introducing a speaker at an event or talking about the work and objectives of the group).If you would like to put your name forward for this position, or would like to know more about the group before deciding, please email enquires@jerseybatgroup.org ...

What bat is that? This bat was seen this morning under a licenced hibernation survey. Can you tell what type of bat this is? This winter the JBG has joined with another local charity, Annyctalus Ecology, to conduct hibernation surveys (as part of the National Bat Monitoring Programme). These surveys involve quietly and carefully searching for signs of bats at identified sites. Following this morning's survey, 3 sites have now been surveyed. And excitingly. three different species have been seen! (although at the moment only one bat at each site)If you would like to learn how to tell a myotis from a long eared bat or work out the difference between a lesser and greater horseshoe, just from their facial features the next JBG meeting is for you.James Shipman will be giving an on-line talk on alternative bat identification and handling techniques. James is the events coordinator for the Berkshire Bat Group but also helps train volunteers all over the U.K. and Europe as his hobby. He works in tree relocation for his day to day job but his passion outside of work is bat research and inspiring others.Non-members are very welcome to attend but we would ask that they register via EventBrite, The link ishttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-talk-on-alternative-bat-identification-and-handling-techniques... Tickets are free (although donations are very welcome!).NB The photos were taken under licence and without flash. ... See MoreSee Less

We are proud to announce the completion of our bat flight cage, thanks to the funding from the Association of Jersey Charities, the hard work of our bat friendly carpenter, Arie Uttenbogaard, and invaluable advice from Gail Armstrong. It features an 8m x 3m mesh cage made of aluminium on the outside and softer windbreak material on the inside. There is a wooden shed at one end in which to store items, which acts as a double door for safety. We have placed 2 Schwegler bat boxes inside. This will be a valuable tool in bat rehab where the bat can re-learn how to fly after an injury & we will be able to ensure the bat can fly prior to release from a dehydration event. It will also provide a safe environment for orphaned pups to learn to fly and look after themselves before release back into the wild. ... See MoreSee Less
