Due to the current recommendations with regards to Covid-19, the suggested potential human to bat transmission of the virus which is currently under investigation by a research group and recommendations from the Bat Conservation Trust (BCT) the Advanced Bat Survey Techniques course will not be running in 2020 in order to minimise any potential risks to bats from the virus.We hope that the course will return in 2021, please email admin@batcru.org with an expression of interest for further information once available. |
