Dusk and Dawn Surveys

Cherryfield Ecology has been very busy over the last couple of weeks. We have been down to Cornwall, Devon, Surrey and more locally such as Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire.
Most of Cherryfields work is bat related and currently these involve emergence and re-entry surveys or Dusk and Dawn surveys. These more detailed surveys are undertaken between May to September when bats are most active and in breeding sites. During winter bats hibernate meaning that surveys can’t be undertaken on summer roosts.
Thus far over the last few weeks we have found soprano pipsitrelle Pipistrellus pygmaeus maternity roosts, common pipistrelle P. pipistrellus day roosts and a serotine roost Eptesicus serotinus. 
If you have been asked to provide bat surveys or ecological surveys, feel free to give us a ring and ask for your free quote, we look forward to hearing from you.
