Do you live in Kent?

If so it is really important that you tell us if you have bats in your area. We need accurate records of bats in Kent to help us work for their conservation. If you see bats around your area, or have them roosting in your house, please let us know by sending us an e-mail. Please include the following information:

• Your name & e-mail address
• which species of bat you see. If you don't know give an indication of size e.g. size of a sparrow or size of a blackbird.
• how many you saw
• where you saw it/them (give a grid reference if possible)
• When you saw it/them (date)

Please note we would only like to receive records for the county of Kent.
