On the weekend of the 11th February the group undertook their final hibernation check of the winter. As it turns out the totals for this February was a record count with 125 bats across all the sites. The two pictures above show two of the species which were found.
These were taken by myself (Martin O'Connor) the top one is a barbastelle
Barbastellus barbastella one of 10 located in the largest of the hibernation sites, with the bottom one being a brown long eared bat
Plecotus auritus.
On the Sunday a rather cold looking BLEB was found in another site, see below:
You can see the frost on the bat above, does make you wonder if the bat has survived.
