Lesser Horseshoe Bats

Date: 07.03.2012

Type: Biodiversity

On the biodiversity section of the website you can now find a video of the Lesser horseshoe bats. This colony uses this roost in Bodidris Hall every year. The footage that gets recorded there is being analysed to improve our understanding of the behaviour of these bats.

This bat is one of the smallest British bat species. They weigh between 5 and 9g, and the length of their body is between 35 and 45mm. It has a complex noseleaf to help with its intricate echolocation system.
