Bats Saved in Church Development!

Plecotus auritus in roost - Glossop Bat GroupGlossop Bat Group started to monitor planning applications on the HPBC Planning Portal in June 2012. We believe that many applications that should have bat surveys often do not have any bat surveys at all! One development that had been registered without a bat survey turned out to have a beautiful roost of long-eared bats, possibly the first ever found in the area during a survey for planning!

More Bats - Less Gnats

by Scott Bauer, http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/graphics/photos/jul99/k8488-1.htm

 The parts of Glossop that are named after biting insects (Gnat Hole and Pyegrove) are some of the best places for bats in Glossop. Even our tiniest bats can eat 3000 gnats in an evening, so a roost of 50 bats will consume about 27 million gnats each summer. Join Glossop Bat Group and help us get more bats and less gnats.

Glossop Bat Group - Update

Glossop Sunset - Glossop Bat Group

Founded in March 2012, the 6 month plan of Glossop Bat Group was to document the presence of bats in as many parts of Glossop as possible using rigourous survey methodologies, and combine this with data from previously published bat surveys in the area. By June we had done preliminary surveys in many parts of east Glossop and published an ebook detailing our results and their implications. Unfortunately there were very few bat surveys on the High Peak Borough Council Planning Portal.

Evidence-Based Bat Surveys

Fruit bat, Bui, Ghana, Nicky Green

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Evidence based bat surveys are carried out using recording equipment that provides definitive proof of bat activity. Ideally, evidence-based surveys provide incontrovertible proof of the time, location, species and context of bat behaviour. Evidence based surveys provide valuable and repeatable historical records of bat activity. Glossop Bat Group are working hard to develop affordable and effective methodologies that will allow anybody in Glossop to conduct evidence-based bat surveys that will benefit bats now and in the future.
