2 years ago the amazing scientific discovery of a supercolony of #barbastelle bats was made public👇 It is at very major risk from the NWL; and also at risk from the A47 dualling close-by &this is part of my legal challenges Give the bats a day in Court👉crowdjustice.com/case/stop-road…

Did you watch @BBCCountryfile on Sunday? The episode featured a report on the proposed #WesternLink road, and the unacceptable impact it'd have on Norfolk's barbastelle bat colonies. Watch it now (18 mins in): bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod… Read our thoughts: nwtru.st/NWL
4. We are excited to see how the Acoustic Pipeline will help conservation projects in the future! Find out more about the Acoustic Pipeline👉bit.ly/Acoustic-Pipel… And read about @EndangeredLands programme👉 bit.ly/Endangered-Lan… #Ornithology #BTOScience
3. Analysis confirmed that there was an Eagle Owl at the site this year! Our Portuguese colleagues particularly like the non-invasive sound recording method compared to the alternative method of playing recorded Eagle Owl calls to test for a response, which might affect behaviour
2. Eagle Owl is a species of conservation concern in the region but their presence at the site has not been confirmed since 2016 despite several field surveys. In an early test of using the Acoustic Pipeline to detect birds, BTO scientists designed algorithms to detect owl calls
1. BTO Acoustic Pipeline is supporting biodiversity monitoring for @EndangeredLands and @RewildingPortug. Their team have been recording nocturnal soundscapes in the Greater Coa valley to detect species of conservation concern and monitor impacts of restoration #BTOScience
After 5 years of being forgotten and remembered, our paper about the 3 #bat species from #MadeiraIsland finally sees the light of the day! It was 1 month and 216 sites of me, my #batcycle and a prototype of a #batdetector. Plus, some amazing memories and views 1/3🧵

End of an era. Big thanks to all @_BTO for my lovely send-off today after 25 yrs. Feel very lucky to have been part of such a superb organisation, and to have worked with so many brilliant colleagues, partners and volunteers. Leaving the staff, but will still be a member & vol!
FINALLY! got #goosander to display right next to my mics at dawn in North Yorkshire, though a bit audio-bombed by gulls. Lovely rich calls when this close-up. Sound on! @WildlifeSound @YorkBirding @nybirdnews youtu.be/T5tQr56qw7A
1⃣ Greater Spotted Eagle is a Critically Endangered European bird. Scientists including BTO’s @Adhamab90 have now revealed its previously unknown winter movements & how these may exacerbate its decline 👉 bto.org/our-science/pu… #BTOScience @wildpolesia @EndangeredLands @ptushki
Norwich Bat Group's @LottyPackman & Jane Harris, will be on BBC Countryfile tomorrow evening, along with some of Norfolk's very special bats. Be sure to catch it. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
The BTO Acoustic Pipeline is your gateway into a hidden nighttime world. The cutting-edge software (developed with @Mostlybats and @BatAbility) identifies the bats, small mammals, bush crickets and even some moths picked up by your bat detector 👉 bto.org/pipeline
Presenting...Lady Minsmere! Thank you to everyone who commented their favourite name, it was a landslide for Lady Minsmere however. We think it suits her very well! #NorwichBatGroup #BCT #Nathusius #Pipistrelle #Norwich #LadtMinsmere #BatBooty
Have you tested out the BTO Acoustic Pipeline for the sound identification of bats, small mammals, bush-crickets, moths… yet? bto.org/pipeline

The bat survey is currently cancelled for 2020 due to the situation with COVID-19. It is quite unlikely it will be possible to carry out any bat recording this year. We will continue to monitor the situation.

3. Analysis confirmed that there was an Eagle Owl at the site this year! Our Portuguese colleagues particularly like the non-invasive sound recording method compared to the alternative method of playing recorded Eagle Owl calls to test for a response, which might affect behaviour
2. Eagle Owl is a species of conservation concern in the region but their presence at the site has not been confirmed since 2016 despite several field surveys. In an early test of using the Acoustic Pipeline to detect birds, BTO scientists designed algorithms to detect owl calls
1. BTO Acoustic Pipeline is supporting biodiversity monitoring for @EndangeredLands and @RewildingPortug. Their team have been recording nocturnal soundscapes in the Greater Coa valley to detect species of conservation concern and monitor impacts of restoration #BTOScience

1⃣In spring 2020, volunteers were gearing up to begin fieldwork for the long-term BBS survey. Covid lockdowns meant they were able to visit only half as many sites compared to 2019. New #BTOScience in #BirdStudy explains the impact this had. #Ornithology
^o^ Last night we had John Muddeman (Spainbirds Nature Tours) @SPAINBIRDS_ as a 'Be Our Guest' on BatAbility Club. An excellent session discussing the birds & mammals you can see in Spain🙂. Find out more at: spainbirds.com facebook.com/spainbirds
End of an era. Big thanks to all @_BTO for my lovely send-off today after 25 yrs. Feel very lucky to have been part of such a superb organisation, and to have worked with so many brilliant colleagues, partners and volunteers. Leaving the staff, but will still be a member & vol!
FINALLY! got #goosander to display right next to my mics at dawn in North Yorkshire, though a bit audio-bombed by gulls. Lovely rich calls when this close-up. Sound on! @WildlifeSound @YorkBirding @nybirdnews youtu.be/T5tQr56qw7A
1⃣ Greater Spotted Eagle is a Critically Endangered European bird. Scientists including BTO’s @Adhamab90 have now revealed its previously unknown winter movements & how these may exacerbate its decline 👉 bto.org/our-science/pu… #BTOScience @wildpolesia @EndangeredLands @ptushki
