Our 2 bats in care have been positively ID'd as Pipistrellus nathusius (Nathusius pips), both male adults. They will be released as soon as the night temperatures are warm enough. For those interested, here are some photos that confirmed the ID ... See MoreSee Less

It is not common to have bats in care at this time of year, but we are currently looking after Patch and Longueville and waiting for the weather to warm up before we release them. They are both eating like horses, and seem to enjoy the comfort of bat care. Patch looks to be a Nathusius Pipistrelle and Longueville probably the same but we have yet to identify. Thanks to Zoey for the photos ... See MoreSee Less

The results of our bat box project were poor this year, with only one of our 6 sites producing any quantity of bats. We did however record a Brown Long-eared bat in a box in October, a probably Myotis in a box in the spring and several Common Pipistrellus during the year. The new CJM boxes are now outperforming the Kent boxes, so we will be replacing some of the dilapidated boxes with this model in the future. If you wish to read the full report, you can find it here: docs.google.com/document/d/1jiyH1iydvz6JJa01AkkgvrfYOZM2YWH4vT2B_KCQ2NE/edit?usp=sharing ... See MoreSee Less

Is your New Year resolution to do something different but you are not quite sure what? Why not join the Jersey Bat Group as their secretary! We are a small Jersey wildlife charity dedicated to the conservation of bats and to telling everyone about these fascinating creatures. But you don't need to know about bats to act as the secretary. You do need to be organised, enjoy communicating and available to organise and attend approx. monthly evening committee meetings (can be done by Zoom). You will maintain the records on the dedicated JBG laptop (kindly donated by JT) and the present secretary will be happy to provide guidance and assistance at the outset. Interested? Send us an email at enquiries@jerseybatgroup.org and we will contact you. Not sure? If you would like to attend a committee meeting first before deciding then send us an email and we can arrange that. ... See MoreSee Less

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
