The British Bats dataset contains information about bats and bat roosts collected by Nature Conservancy Council, English Nature, Scottish Natural Heritage and the Countryside Council for Wales. The information was collected following requests from members of the public wanting advice about bats, often roosting in their property.
The dataset contains data relating to the species of bat wherever possible. Other information gathered in the dataset includes name and address of roost and owner, details about the building and the roost site, description of the problem, potential threat to the roost, attitude of owners, the extent of usage by bats and the National Grid Reference of the site. Data about species and location are encoded to facilitate searches for records.
The datasets in this series are available to download. Links to individual datasets can be found at piece level.
