🦇 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?!

🦇 A huge thank you to all our fantastic volunteers on this Volunteers' Week! Volunteers are at the very heart of bat conservation in the UK - without their dedication and support, much of our work would not be possible. Thank you all.

Springwatch Live cam sketching Birds, birds and more birds! Follow my IG acc to keep up to date with my art, new website coming soon too! www.instagram.com/bizzyillustr...

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'm still here, just working on projects I can't share at the moment! I can however share this #Springwatch live cam watercolour, pen and ink sketch I did this morning 😊

So glad they reached you 😊 🦇❤️🦇

Thank you for sharing @batconservation.bsky.social 🦇❤️🦇

It's #WorldArtDay and I didn't realise! So here's a mixed media fashion illustration to tantilise your taste...

🦇 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

🦇 Many thanks to the Faversham Natural History Group for inviting me to give a talk on bats and being such an enthusiastic audience. Huge thanks also to @doddles.bsky.social for bringing an education bat and for being such a huge support throughout as well as photographer! @kentbatgroup.bsky.social

🦇Did you know that plushie bats echolocate at 45 denier? Well, now you do! 😂 Good time with @doddles.bsky.social @kentbatgroup.bsky.social talking all things bat to students at UCA Canterbury as part of their Green Week 2025

Many thanks to @batconservation.bsky.social for hosting a fabulous #SEBatConf How I left my illustration of the day's excellent talks, still lots to do to it. Zoom in for detail!

Page is filling up nicely, last sessions to go #SEBatConf

I always love a Bat ID session, although it always goes back to one thing...#iykyk And no, I decided against illustrating any! 😆 #SEBatConf

Great #SEBatConf so far with some insightful speakers @batconservation.bsky.social hoping to fill the page with key words, info and little sketches!

Bum face? @batman-shipman.bsky.social how very dare you! 😂

🦇 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!

I've nominated, have you?

🦇🦡 Great day today with @kentbatgroup.bsky.social celebrating bats and badgers with at the Ash Wildlife Friendly Bat and Badger Conference. Excellent talks by John Puckett of the Kent Bat Group and Martin Newcombe of the East Kent Badger Group, as illustrated below 🦇🦡 #lovebritishwildlife

Rather pleased with this mixed media commission of a Whiskered bat for my wonderfully batty friend @doddles.bsky.social #lovebats #batillustration #batsinart

🦇 Please do not disturb hibernating bats. Not only is it illegal to do so but it can endanger their chances of survival as they can use vital fat reserves when they become active unnecessarily. If you find a bat in an exposed location please follow the advice on our website: https://buff.ly/47OkUZN

🦇 I'm delighted to be here! I illustrate the 3 B's ... Bats Bikes & Bodies! I donate to @batconservation.bsky.social and @kentbatgroup.bsky.social from any bat art sales from my etsy shop www.bizzyillustrations.etsy.com Motorsport artwork also on etsy! Check out my website and Instagram for more!
