Bat surveys by Roy Cropper

Published on 18-11-2009 by Dr Paul Beckett

If only Roy Cropper had asked Phlorum to do the bat survey for his society he wouldn’t have landed up in the canal by the hands of the murderer Tony Gordon. But the dramas of Coronation Street aside, Roy’s wife, Hayley,  is right in thinking that the bats should be hibernating by now and, consequently, it is still possible and necessary for bat surveys to be performed. Although bats do hibernate in the winter, if there is a spell of warm weather they will wake up and forage until it gets cold again.
