A new species of bat has been found in Alderney

Whiskered BatA species of bat, new to Alderney, has been found in the island.
A bird ringer from the UK went looking for bats in the German tunnel off Barackmaster’s Lane at Longis.
A bat detector was left at the tunnel for an hour to record signals and has detected a Whiskered Bat.
Whiskered Bats, which are very similar to Brandt’s Bats, are fairly common in the UK but the first confirmed sighting in the Channel Islands was in Jersey in 2012.read more
