Rare bat observed visiting local pub in Norfolk

Volunteers who spent the past two weeks tracking rare barbastelle bats in Norfolk found they visited a pub, a museum and a town council.

Transmitters the size of a sunflower seed were fixed to the bats' fur to allow experts to understand more.

They allow the bats to be heard up to two miles away on receiving equipment and drop off in time.

Researchers found one bat had visited Sheringham Town council, the seafront, a golf course and a local pub.

This project, which began four years ago and is backed by the National Trust, Natural England and local volunteers, is headed by Sheringham Park warden Keith Zealand.
