It has never been easier to observe and enjoy the 16 species of British Bat in your garden or local wildlife patch. Bats navigate and hunt in the dark by emitting high-frequency ultrasonic calls – you can listen to their calls using a bat detector. A ‘heterodyne’ bat detector is the ideal starting point to listen to bat behaviour and make species identifications.
We also recommend the Guide to British Bats which includes descriptions of bat calls, call frequency ranges by species and useful flight pictures – essential information for getting the most out of your bat detector.
