Ten Years as a Bat Carer (Zoom)

Rescuing and rehabilitating grounded or injured bats or orphaned bat pups can be hugely rewarding but emotionally and physically demanding. This talk is not a training session although hopefully everyone will go away having learnt something. Tricia is not setting herself up as an authority but 10 years of experience have taught her a lot. She will share some of the experiences and interesting cases of the last 10 years and will answer as many questions from the audience as she can.

Please be aware that some of the images (of injured bats) may be upsetting.

About Tricia Scott:

Tricia first got involved with bats in around 1998/9 when the volunteer warden of Snitterfield Bushes, who was a licensed bat worker, asked if she’d like to accompany him as he checked the bat boxes on that nature reserve. He then involved her in the lesser horseshoe roost counts at Bearley and Ettington. Bat care came much later – in 2015 – when the then lead bat carer for the county was looking for help.
