This bat stone is specially designed to provide a place for bats in winter roosts to hide. The stone features crevices, chambers, and holes, allowing bats to choose their own spot where they feel most comfortable or where they can cluster together as a group.
This bat stone is suitable for a variety of locations, uses, and species groups. It can be applied in underground or ground-covered winter accommodations for target species such as:
- Daubenton’s Bat
- Whiskered Bat</li
- Natterer’s Bat
- Brown Long-eared Bat
- Pond Bat
- Barbastelle Bat
- Vale Bat
- Bechstein’s Bat
Application to above-ground winter accommodations is also possible, such as in rooms in forts, church towers, or church attics. The target species in these cases include:
- Common Pipistrelle
- Nathusius’ Pipistrelle
- Serotine
- Brown Long-eared Bat
- Grey Big-eared Bat
- Soprano Pipistrelle
These sites are suitable for overwintering during severe frosts. Additionally, these bat stones can serve as refuges for bats under bridges and in traffic-clearing sections of overpasses.
