Most of the bat photos were taken with the kind help and expert advice of Jenny Clarke, a lady who has devoted her life to bat conservation.

Thanks also to Roger Goy of 'Wildlife Helpline National Service' who was always extremely helpful with identification questions, and who sadly died in March 2009.

If you'd like to contribute a photo to UK Safari there's some info about it here.
