Doc Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Just wondering if anyone has ever used a bat detector. If I sit outside my caravan at night you can see them and hear bats flying around. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Not tried one Mick but at Kelling there was a bunch of folks on a guided tour of the site all using bat detectors. I tagged along for 10 mins just watching and they seemed very effective. Didin't realise how many bats were flitting around in the twilight there. Quite fascinating it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Strings Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hey I fancy one of those, bats are my favourites, wonderful in a sandwich! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hi Mick Not use one but I do fancy one I've looked around and seen some ranging from about £80 to £2000 also saw couple of kit ones not too sure about that I've been on a bat walk which was interesting and started the idea Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Have a look hear (geddit) http://www.bats.org.uk/pages/bat_detectors.html#BuyBatDet There's loads of info here. I thought all married men had a bat detector built-in......just joking Krys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 If you fancy seeing some bats close up, Chester Zoo has a walk in bat area which is superb. I was in there for about an hour (most folk go through in 5 mins). I wouldn't mind finding some out and about around Nottingham, though seeing them is less likely than hearing.

glider Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I often see them flitting around in my garden at dusk . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Strings Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 We have one roosting in our house, it's been there for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DaveJW Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Yes I often see them in the garden around dusk & see even more at the same time at almost every bit of water where I have fished. Melbourne Hall lake is the busiest place for bats I've ever seen, especially on the wooded side - loads of 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
