The Kent Bat Group has been working to help protect the county's bats and learn more about them since 1983. Sixteen of Britain's 18 resident bat species have since been recorded in Kent.
This species favours water bodies for hunting chironomid flies. Maternity roosts tend to be close to rivers, lakes and gravel pits and include hanging tiles, barge boards and gable soffits. Maternity colonies are much larger than those of Common pipistrelle and usually number in the hundreds of individuals.
Any bat found out during the daytime or on the ground usually needs help.
Do you have a roost in your neighbourhood, or regularly see bats flying and feeding?
