Checking Addits in the North West of England for hibernating bats with Tina Wiffen. A cold and grey day but interesting explore of this historic industrial mining site. 10 Addits surveyed. 10 bats found. #batsofthenorth #bathibernation @batconservation.bsky.social

2 bats today. Checking bat boxes close to home. 2 of 7 boxes had bats, this little guy looked like he had tunnelled through some spider webs to reach his roosting space 🤓🦇🕸️ @batconservation.bsky.social #greenwoodshabitatboxes #pipistrelle #hibernation 😴

Winter hibernation checks for bats. Old Lead mine workings North West England. Addits are exploratory horizontal tunnels dug into the hillside to specific minerals and metals. Creating ideal sites for bats through winter-damp and consistent cool temperature. #bats @batconservation.bsky.social
