Red Squirrels on the BBC Winterwatch Livecams this morning. I imagine Beatrix Potter would've found these an amazing reference source had she been alive today! #redsquirrels #wildlifesketching #livewebcams

🦇 Today marks the end of #batweek & #batappreciationmonth but remember, bats don't need a hashtag to be appreciated all the time! And they need to be appreciated, as do all the volunteers who care for, survey and give up their time to educate and bring bat awareness around the world - thank you ❤️

🦇 any Bat people listening to Vernon Kay this morning on BBC2 (around 10.29) might've heard "Craig" give his hilarious 30 second #MoviePromo "The Ecologist, this time it's ecological" haven't laughed that much in ages, and thought it deserved a poster 🤣 Worth listening to! And who is Craig?!

Listen up! It is baby bat season! Please, please, please keep your cat indoors overnight for next few weeks. Seeing multiple cat-damaged or killed bats, some with babies attached.😪 Bats can live >20 years and have just 1 baby/year, so now's a critical time. # bats #cats #conservation #wildlife 🦇

🦇 I thought I'd try and film the Soprano pipistrelles foraging over the Royal Military Canal last night as part of the @batconservation.bsky.soc NBMP Sunrise/Sunset Survey, and this little one decided he was ready for his close up 😆 Slowed down to 1/4 speed #lovebats

Do share it! my son is Henry and his artistic talent has gone in the direction of Warhammer now and he wins awards for his painting skills! He is also an awesome musician currently in two bands, and he composes most of the tunes! Big proud Mum I am!!

🦇 I found this drawing done by my son back in 2002 (he's 30 now so you do the math!) Which, I think, was drawn live whilst at Shirley Thompsons, I think the Serotine might've been called Sid! Clearly, though, the GHS was not being cared for by Shirley at the time 😄

Another bat ticked off my batty wish list. Sad that the NBMP hibernation survey season has come to an end, I've spent about 22 hours in the dark over January and February at 3 hibernacula and seen around 80 snoozing bats, 8 different species, and I think that's a pretty good way to start the year!
