The National Bat Monitoring Program Roost Count has been running since 1997 and to date around 2,220 volunteers have carried out counts at over 3,400 roosts. A huge thank you to everyone who takes part in this survey.

In this talk we’ll look at the results from the Roost Count, what we’ve learnt about how different species use different types of roost, share some interesting stories from volunteers, and go through some tips for taking part in the survey.

When booking on there is the opportunity to buy BCT’s “Identifying Bats in Flight” booklet (28pp) which is a useful guide for beginners, introducing bat identification through visual clues and using bat detectors.
