About the Book

This book will help anyone understand the fun and adventures to be had working with these fascinating animals. Packed with insider information, it offers expert guidance on how to identify bats in the hand. As you learn the process of handling them safely, you will also discover the key features that distinguish one species from another. Filling a gap between basic books and more technical volumes, this guide uses humour, mnemonics, rhymes and images as it communicates in simple terms the techniques required when training for a bat licence. Detailed images, diagrams and tables help in comparison between species, and the fundamentals of bat ecology and survey equipment are discussed. All British bat species are covered, as well as possible vagrants. Warning: James’s infectious enthusiasm for bats is likely to rub off – these fascinating mammals may well become an obsession.

Review :
...ticks all the boxes... The inside cover has a list of the ID points to look out for on the bats, and the back cover has a quick ID chart to run down... If you enjoy birding on summer evenings, bats could become another reason to be out there. ...an accessible guide that covers both the technical side of identification and ‘in the field’ tips and tricks that are both memorable and fun... What is particularly helpful are the top quick identification guides in the flip-out section of the front and back covers.
