Setting up an acoustic bat detector

Setting up an acoustic bat detector to monitor the presence of new barbastelle colonies as part of VWT's Natur am Byth! Barbastelle Project in Pembrokeshire.

Acoustic bat detectors can record the calls of bats and allow the monitoring of bat species.

VWT's Natur am Byth Barbastelle Project is working with local communities and volunteers to carry out acoustic surveys across woodlands in Pembrokeshire to find out more about the presence or absence of this rare species, to build and install barbastelle bat boxes and to improve habitat and connectivity in areas where barbastelles are found.
