My bat detector was just under the camera to enable you to hear this Notule Bat clearly. Normally you can hear some of the chattering by a Noctule bat without a bat detector but most of it is ultrasound - which is, by definition, beyond the human ear.
NOTE - all UK bats are legally protected and you cannot keep one or even disturb their roost. This female noctule is injured and is cared for by a trained expert. Don't try this at home!
Filmed during an event at Sheepdrove Organic Farm held 19July2007 with expert David Endacott. Love bats? Visit www.bats.org.uk

He's a very well behaved noctule!
I think it's a she! She's been unable to be set free, and has been with the rescuer (a licensed, trained expert) for years. She's about 10 years old.
