Pipistrelle Colony Count 2008

415 volunteers have done counts at 599 known pipistrelle roosts.

The species breakdown was as follows:

215 common pipistrelle roosts, 166 of which had this species present this year.

153 soprano pipistrelle roosts, 122 of which had this species present this year.

231 unspecified pipistrelle roosts, 155 of which had pipistrelles present this year.

The distribution of sites surveyed and pipistrelles recorded is shown in the maps below (NB each 10km spot may contain more than one survey site; if bats are recorded as "not present" it does not necessarily imply that these species are absent from that 10km square).
