Links to information on bat detectors
Bat detectors convert the ultrasonic calls of bats to frequencies
that we can hear. There are many different makes available, the
most useful for surveying and identifying bats in flight costing
around £140. A factsheet about the various models is available
from enquiries@bats.org.uk
. However, if you fancy building your own detector, you might like to check out the
magenta detector kit. Also see
the link to Dean Walter's pages above.
