Bat work is a particular specialism of BSG. We have nine full-time and three part-time licensed and experienced bat surveyors. BSG surveyors collectively have over 80 years of bat survey experience and have worked on a large variety of bat related projects including highways building, canal restoration, railway development, residential and commercial developments, flood alleviation schemes, underground/mine stabilisation work, pipeline construction and surveys of designated sites of nature conservation.

We have experience in providing bat related advice to government and non-government bodies, preparing European Protected Species licences, designing a wide range of mitigation and in developing and delivering training courses on bat surveying.

Our staff are trained in the latest bat survey techniques, including remote detection and recording and several sound analysis systems. We also have staff with confined spaces training and an extensive range of survey equipment including time expansion and frequency division bat detectors, minidisk recorders, infra-red video recorders, hand nets, automated detectors (Anabats) and access equipment.

We routinely work in England, Scotland and Wales and are familiar with the legislation variations that occur in the different parts of the UK. BSG is in an excellent position to deliver your bat survey requirements regardless of the type of work or the region.
