Two woodland surveys have been undertaken over the last two days. One at Dunstable downs and the other at Luton Hoo.
The National Trust's site (Dunstable Downs): No bats were caught in the net but common pipistrelles Pipistrellus pipistrellus were heard.
Luton Hoo: A new area was checked in this large site. Not many bats were heard but soprano pipistrelles Pipistrellus pygmaeus and an unknown speceies were heard. Bob has made a recording of the unknown and hopefully will be able to ID the species from it. No bats were caught in the nets.
