Bats - the real stars of the night

Bats are amazing animals, and an important part of our natural environment. There are 17 species of bat in the UK, all of which are protected by law because their numbers have decreased so dramatically.

The Bat Conservation Trust (BCT) is working towards a world where bats and people live in harmony, to ensure they are around for future generations to enjoy. Your support will make a big difference to what we are able to achieve.

What are bats doing now: March

Bats are beginning to emerge from hibernation and can be seen feeding as the weather gets warmer. In bad weather, they may become torpid (cool and inactive) to save energy.
