Northern Bats

“Northern Bats” is an on-line resource for publishing the results of bat work in the north of England.  Northern Bats covers bats and bat work in the geographical area covered by the Bat Conservation Trust’s list of North East and North West England bat groups, ie from the Scottish borders, south to include Cheshire and South Yorkshire.  It has been inspired by the “Scottish BATS” publication and is similar in its aims and scope though the two projects are completely independent.
