Hibernation surveys Jan and Feb
Thanks to everybody who helped with the hibernation surveys. There were 161 bats in January and 154 in February.
Natterer's numbers were good with 91 in Jan and 87 in Feb, Daub's 41 in Jan and 31 in Feb, 7 Barbs in January and 12 in Feb, BLE 18 and 21 = not to mention 54 Herald Moths at one of the sites (thanks to Phil who found a stash of 30 of them).
Another year of high numbers. Now all we have to do is wait until they wake up.
Martin.
