BAT SURVEY RESULTS - May 2025

We know that Holton Pits is a wonderful place for wildlife but when it is confirmed it is very exciting! 

You may remember from our last newsletter we had a local bat surveyor and team come to see what species there were at Holton Pits. This is done through sound detectors and licenced trapping.

The detectors they install are also capable of picking up small mammals. Have a look at the species discovered at Holton Pits and click to learn more about them. Some are classed as 'scarce' species in the UK.

Our expert is keen to hear from anyone who would like a detector and/or trail camera put up in their garden. Bats, small mammals and hedgehogs can be discovered. If interested you can get in touch with her via her website (https://www.mostlybats.org) or email: huma@mostlybats.org

Results from all surveys can be found on our website:
