Abstract
The lowest maximum temperature in which bats were recorded was 11°C
Corresponds with BCT Guidance
•Clashes with Slack and Tinsley (2015)
If temperatures are high enough for prey, bats will emerge
Minimum daily temperatures of -1°C did not have an effect on bat activity
Presence only. No measurement of duration of activity
Wind decreased foraging in non-woodland sites
Agreement with Slack and Tinsley (2015) windfarm study
Precipitation also influenced bat activity
2015/16 was Scotland’s wettest year in since records began
