Imagine trying to travel around Britain without our road and rail network. Or imagine if nine out of every ten miles of road just didn’t exist – life would be impossible! Are you on a B-Line? Standing in the garden yesterday, daydreaming, and soaking up the warm rays...
The place a bat lives is called its roost. Bats need different roosting conditions at different times of the year and they will often move around to find a roost that meets their needs. Some bats prefer hollow trees, some like caves and some use both at different...
After his late-night feed Furzy sprawled out on the floor of his pen and was not looking good. I was not happy, but there was no more I could do. Feeding a little and often paid off though, as this morning I found him hanging upside down on his heat pad and he seemed...
At work, and another rescue on its way. I now have male BLE. He's been outside on the ground for the past 28hrs and is not in good shape. I think it was a close call as he looks rough and is totally unresponsive. For sure he wouldn't have survived another night out...

This morning I received the best Christmas gift ever. Little Joey ate his meal by himself last night and presented me with a clean dish this Christmas morning. As a fellow bat carer said: 'He has given you the Gift of Time.' I am absolutely over the moon! A lovely...
Just a quick note to say thank you to everyone who has supported me through my artwork and with my bat rescue/conservation work this year. The last two years have been challenging for everyone, and have shown us all the value, importance, and power of art and...
