Ranger Mike Robinson has been working to support the bats that live at Sherborne for 30 years. Now armed with the latest bat detector attached to an ordinary iPad, he can hear their voices and the iPad shows which species are around.

There are ten of the 18 bats which live in the UK well recorded in official bat surveys at Sherborne. But recently new evidence from the new iPad detectors has added three more; Bechstein’s, Serotine and the Greater Horseshoe bats.
