I read about her in a school book when I was 13, and I finally had a name for what I always wanted to be in life. 15 years later, I still find her words a mirror to my mind

Finally! Yesterday evening we caught a troll! 😄
Pipistrellus nathusii captured in Lista has now a radio tag! I’m very curious to see where it goes:)
We are in awe 🤯 Over 100,000 citizens have already sent a message to the European Commission, sharing why they oppose the weakening of EU nature laws.
If you care about nature & support strong EU environmental laws, now is the moment to speak up!

We are checking bat boxes all around the region and trying/planning some mistnetting around Stavanger/Sandnes lakes, but with the local weather is hard to have decent nights:)

We are also ready to tag, as soon as we can catch P nathusii or other migratory species
All bat handling and ringing is carried out with official permits

Today we started a little side project to investigate bat box occupancy, and we’ve already found two P. pygmaeus (it’s a lot here in Norway 😄)! 🥳🦇 #bats #batboxes
