Barbastelle Bats

In June 2004, a group called the Worcestershire Bat Group made an exciting discovery. They found that Tinkers Hill Wood is home to a group, or colony, of barbastelles. These are a special type of bat.

Barbastelle bats are very important and are protected by law. They are listed under the European Habitats Directive. This is a set of rules designed to protect rare and endangered animals and their natural homes across Europe. Protecting these bats helps keep the environment healthy for all living things.
