This male, adult Pipistrellus nathusii was found grounded at Victoria College. After 36 hours of hydrating, feeding & flight testing, he was considered ready for release. This species can migrate large distances. Longest documented distance over 2000km between Russia & Iberian Peninsular. We imagine he will be on his way soon out of this awful weather. Thanks to Kaylah for the video. - Miranda ... See MoreSee Less

A nice photo of our Leisler's bat in care. He is just as calm and gentle as he looks. Fed well, flew well in flight training, ready to release tonight weather permitting. - Miranda ... See MoreSee Less

This is a long video so just watch the first minute to see the bats emerging from this roost. We have been monitoring this Myotis nattereri roost for over 2 years and usually only see 10 or so emerging. At least 38 emerged last night to my surprise. This is the largest Myotis roost in the island that we have discovered so far. - Miranda ... See MoreSee Less

This beautiful Nyctalus leisleri bat was found in a bathroom in a private house at Rozel. The species is very rare for Jersey, & has only been discovered once before in 2002. The male adult was brought in to me by a caring person, & was in need of hydration & feeding. We need to assess his flying ability before releasing back at Rozel, but he has a voracious appetite. - Miranda ... See MoreSee Less

Successful release of our long-term Pipistrellus pipistrellus last night. She came to us with a large wing tear which healed up over a month. Flight training was started & when she could sustain flight we decided she was ready for release. Delayed by weather for a couple of days but all went well last night. Thanks to Kaylah and Eden for their help and thanks to the owners of the house where the bat was found for their kindness. - Miranda ... See MoreSee Less
