When the\u00a0 Bat Group first began back in 1988, two founder members of the group did a survey of Daubenton’s bat activity at various points along the Ouse.\u00a0 They did this by walking along the river banks. They lugged a huge battery along the towpaths\u00a0 to\u00a0 produce a beam of light to shine across the river\u00a0 so they could count bat passes.<\/p>\n

In 2011 we started a rather more high tech approach, with the help of Viking Kayak club.Danny who very kindly offered to paddle bat group members down the River Great Ouse\u00a0 so we could survey bats on water.<\/p>\n

With the improvement in bat detector and GPS technology we have been able to get more accurate data. This year we plan to resurvey some of the “hot spots” we found earlier<\/p>\n
