If a bat enters your home during hot weather, for example during the heatwave we are experiencing in Jersey, the best course of action is to open windows and doors, turn off lights, and allow the bat to exit on its own. If the bat is injured or unable to leave, or is seen during the day, contact the Jersey Bat Group (please see pinned post). Do not attempt to handle the bat directly with your bare hands. ...

DON'T FORGET THE GREAT GARDEN BAT WATCH!The last 2 nights have been abysmal weather wise, but tonight looks promising. The bats will have been holed up in their roosts during the past 2 nights so will likely make an appearance tonight.Go outside into your garden, balcony, local park, beach around 21:00 and look up for bats. Note the time you see your first bat and the direction from which it flew. Make your report on the Jersey Biodiversity Centre and include your location, name and date. If you are unable to make tonight the survey can be done at any time during the summer.jerseybiodiversitycentre.org.je/records/Great-Garden-Bat-Watch ... See MoreSee Less
