My new toy just arrived in the post! The Wildlife Acoustics #EchoMeterTouch bat detector, which connects directly to an Apple device.
I have been using one of these for over a year now, but due to a change in job I have been without one for the winter, no big deal because the #bats have been inactive during this time.
However with April just about to begin and the temperatures beginning to warm, soon the bats will be coming out of hibernation/torpor and they will be active once more.
For planning purposes bat surveys in the UK cannot be undertaken until May but my local bat group (Bedfordshire Bat Group) starts surveys in April and I am looking forward to getting out in the next few weeks to test the new device and the improvements that Wildlife Acoustics have made to the app that is required to run it on an apple device.
Bring on the bats!
