And they need to be appreciated, as do all the volunteers who care for, survey and give up their time to educate and bring bat awareness around the world - thank you ❤️

- Reposted by Bizzy IllustrationsListen up! It is baby bat season! Please, please, please keep your cat indoors overnight for next few weeks. Seeing multiple cat-damaged or killed bats, some with babies attached.😪 Bats can live >20 years and have just 1 baby/year, so now's a critical time. # bats #cats #conservation #wildlife 🦇
- I'm still here, just working on projects I can't share at the moment! I can however share this #Springwatch live cam watercolour, pen and ink sketch I did this morning 😊
- So glad they reached you 😊 🦇❤️🦇
- @bzillustrations.bsky.social guys look, I’m in love. I’m batty for this card and these badges. Thank you so so much! #bat #lovebats
- Thank you for sharing @batconservation.bsky.social 🦇❤️🦇
- It's #WorldArtDay and I didn't realise! So here's a mixed media fashion illustration to tantilise your taste...
- 🦇 I thought I'd try and film the Soprano pipistrelles foraging over the Royal Military Canal last night as part of the @batconservation.bsky.soc NBMP Sunrise/Sunset Survey, and this little one decided he was ready for his close up 😆 Slowed down to 1/4 speed #lovebats
- 🦇 Many thanks to the Faversham Natural History Group for inviting me to give a talk on bats and being such an enthusiastic audience. Huge thanks also to @doddles.bsky.social for bringing an education bat and for being such a huge support throughout as well as photographer! @kentbatgroup.bsky.social
- 🦇Did you know that plushie bats echolocate at 45 denier? Well, now you do! 😂 Good time with @doddles.bsky.social @kentbatgroup.bsky.social talking all things bat to students at UCA Canterbury as part of their Green Week 2025
- Many thanks to @batconservation.bsky.social for hosting a fabulous #SEBatConf How I left my illustration of the day's excellent talks, still lots to do to it. Zoom in for detail!
- Page is filling up nicely, last sessions to go #SEBatConf
- I always love a Bat ID session, although it always goes back to one thing...#iykyk And no, I decided against illustrating any! 😆 #SEBatConf
- Great #SEBatConf so far with some insightful speakers @batconservation.bsky.social hoping to fill the page with key words, info and little sketches!
- Bum face? @batman-shipman.bsky.social how very dare you! 😂
- 🦇 I found this drawing done by my son back in 2002 (he's 30 now so you do the math!) Which, I think, was drawn live whilst at Shirley Thompsons, I think the Serotine might've been called Sid! Clearly, though, the GHS was not being cared for by Shirley at the time 😄
- Another bat ticked off my batty wish list. Sad that the NBMP hibernation survey season has come to an end, I've spent about 22 hours in the dark over January and February at 3 hibernacula and seen around 80 snoozing bats, 8 different species, and I think that's a pretty good way to start the year!
- I've nominated, have you?
- 🦇 Please nominate us to receive £5,000! The more nominations we get, the more chances we have of winning this much needed donation for #bats! Deadline to nominate is 23 Feb! All our info is already filled out so all you have to do is click on the image and add your details Please share widely.
