Bat Surveys
At FitzGerald Ecology, we offer a diverse range of bat surveying services, which include potential bat roost feature (PRF) surveys, presence/absence surveys for structures such as buildings, bridges, and trees, to more intricate studies involving flight path and habitat suitability assessments. Our approach incorporates up-to-date remote sensing and telemetry techniques. We utilise various modern ultrasonic detector types.
Up-to-date remote sensing and telemetry techniques.
We also engage in extended monitoring surveys, employing ultrasound recording methods to track and document bat activity over extended periods. This allows us to gain a thorough understanding of seasonal variations and long-term trends in local and regional bat populations.
We are experienced in performing sound analysis to extract detailed information from bat calls and to confirm initial identifications and to discern behaviour patterns and other features. We also provide expert summary reports of our findings, along with recommendations for bat conservation and habitat management.
Our Bat Surveys service is essential for various sectors and purposes:
- Environmental Impact Assessments: Essential data for assessing the impact of development or land-use change on bat populations.
- Conservation Projects: Guiding targeted conservation efforts to protect and enhance bat habitats.
- Land and Wildlife Management: Assisting landowners, Biodiversity Officers and other land managers in developing strategies to support bat populations.
