Bechstein's Bat Survey Project

Citation

Bat Conservation Trust (2022). Bechstein's Bat Survey Project. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/a6jgbl accessed via GBIF.org on 2023-10-02.

Description

Bat capture records collected using a harp trap and acoustic lure. This study aims to provide baseline data of the Bechstein's bat at a 10km resolution. The methodology, although targeted at Bechstein's bats also allows the collection of other bat species data at the same level.

Purpose

The purpose of the survey is to produce baseline distribution data for the Bechstein's bats. Records of other species will also be collected during the survey.

Sampling Description

Quality Control

Representatives from each group taking part in the project attended a 4 day intensive training course to ensure their protocol and identification skills are satisfactory. All data is collected using the same methodology under the project licence.

Method steps

  1. A 25ha+ woodland was surveyed in each 10km2, using a harp trap and an Autobat (acoustic lure). Surveys lasted 1.5 hours at two sites within a woodland. Woodlands were selected for their potential association with Bechstein's bats, according to a habitat model.
