🦇Hello April! Bats have mainly come out of hibernation and are hungry and active, feeding on most nights. They may move between several roost sites and can become torpid (cool and inactive) again when cold.

🦇Today is #InternationalChildrensBookDay! We are very grateful to have the support of some amazing authors who wrote the most beautiful stories, that both children and grown ups can enjoy.

100% me!

Who doesn’t love a glow up? This lucky young lady had a short stay at hotel Little Wing and was then comped a glamour photo upon checkout ❤️🦇

Bat 🦇 research! “At first, some locals thought bats were evil, but through education and awareness campaigns, attitudes have changed,” #bats #batresearch #batconservation #nature #naturalhistory #wildlife news.mongabay.com/2026/03/at-d...

🦇 Today is #InternationalDayOfHappiness. Here are some lovely photos of bats to brighten up your day a little, a bring a smile to your face. ☺️ Which one was your favourite?

Can we start a campaign to get a bat 🦇 on a bank note? Almost a quarter of UK mammal species are bats yet they are often overlooked! What do you think @batconservation.bsky.social ? BBC News - Wildlife to replace historical characters on banknotes www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

An orphaned pup that was in our care. The insert photo is the day he arrived; very underweight, dehydrated and scared. The main photograph is the day he went off to crèche at the right weight for his age, happy and confident ❤️🦇

🦇 🥰 Tonic immobility aka "playing dead" can happen when an exhausted bat feels threatened. It's one way to make a predator lose interest. This little guy doesn't yet know I'm his friend. #yougotafriendinme #batcare #lovebats
