Microbats

The list of microbats comes from a project called ‘Bats in Backyards’ to identify microbats in our area using a ‘moth device’.

The ‘moth device’ is a small sealed device which is triggered when a sound in the microbat ranges is heard and recorded within the device.

We return the device to the project manager and later received a list of bats recorded.

This project ran for four years 2022-2026. 2026 results are not back yet to this list is 2022 - 2025.
