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 appears to be the commonest of the three species particularly in East Kent and the only species so far found grounded. One maternity roost under hanging tiles is monitored annually and is close to the Blean Woods complex where the bats are presumed to forage.
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?
