Grey Long-eared Bats: Ecology, Roosts and Survey Techniques

This course will be held on Zoom.

With our climate changing there will be a change in the species found in the UK, examples of these species include the Kuhls pipistrelles, Geoffroy’s bats and Grey long-eared bats. These species are moving northwards and are increasingly being encountered during ecological surveys. This day-long course will focus on the grey long-eared bat covering their general ecology, roosting ecology, and appropriate bat surveying requirements and methodologies for this species. This course is aimed towards commercial ecologists.

You will receive a certificate for attending this course.
