Bats
Interested in Bats?
The OVA has two bat detectors available free for members to borrow. They are very easy to use. We will loan you the detector, with instructions for use and bat identification leaflets from the Bat Conservation Trust.
We will also give you a log form to record bat sightings (or should it be hearings?). Filling out the form is entirely voluntary, but will help the OVA to keep a record of bat contacts in the area.
If you would like to borrow one please contact Roger Saunders through the website contact page. When picking up the detector you will need to provide a £60 cheque as a security deposit and a form of ID, the cheque will be returned to you at the end of the loan period.
Initially the loan period is limited to five days per loan, but this will be reviewed when we get a better idea of demand. The detectors available are the Magenta Bat4 model.
