After 245 nights of recording 🦇sounds in 'my' bat wood -NE England I have submitted this paper to British Island Bats. Detail focused on variation by season of two pipistrelle species and some interesting observations on social calls. Please comment and make suggestions for research in 2026. 🦇

What I learnt in ‘my’ bat wood. Rhythms of the night -eight months of echolocations and social calls in NE England. If you have read any of my 2025 blogs most centre on my near obsession with recording bat sounds and other night time creatures in a wood in North East England. The recordings have now finished and been collated into a paper submitted this week to British Island Bats, Bat Conservation Trust. I will await (fingers crossed) to see if it is published but in the mean time here is what I found. https://curlewsfeathers.wordpress.com/2025/11/21/what-i-learnt-in-my-bat-wood-rhythms-of-the-night-eight-months-of-echolocations-and-social-calls-in-ne-england/
