Attended an excellent course today in Bat ID in Flight and an Introduction to Bat Detector Surveys with Acer Ecology taught by Lea Likozar. Super interesting content with a lovely interactive session at the end, where we heard P. pipistrellus, P. pygmaeus and P. nathusii! Also 3 sightings: two bats (unidentified spp) and one disappointing seagull 😂 Thank you Lea for a fab evening.
