Bat Survey from Suffolk Wildlife Trust

The Leislers bat is quite a rare bat in Suffolk and Breckland seems to be a county stronghold, but they are known to fly quite a distance and have been recorded roosting a bit closer in Great Barton.

A bat survey carried out by Suffolk Bat Group volunteers in July 2018 to the south of Rougham Estate found the mix of grassland, ponds and woodland to provide good feeding, commuting and roosting habitat for at least eight of the county’s 13 bats including the Barbastelle and Leislers bats. Rougham Estate Trust is committed to improving roosting and insect-rich foraging habitat for Suffolk’s bats.
