On this week's Wildlife Matters podcast we are delighted to bring you our Introduction to British Bats.

My fascination with bats began in childhood when I watched them gracefully fly around our garden. This childhood curiosity has blossomed into a lifelong passion. Even now, I eagerly anticipate the bats I might encounter on my evening walks.

The introduction will provide a comprehensive overview with lots of information to capture your interest and get you started on your adventure. We will follow up with more specific and detailed articles and podcasts on individual species for those who want to delve deeper.

This week's Mindful Moments is truly magical and a first for us. But before we get to that, we have a lot to cover, much of it with some personal connections, in this week’s Wildlife Matters Nature News.

With this episode, we've reached a significant milestone-episode 60 since our journey began at the end of 2021. We've also had the pleasure of five episodes with over 10,000 downloads. This wouldn't have been possible without your support. Thank you for being a part of the Wildlife Matters community!
