Bat Identification Guide

Bat Conservation Ireland and the National Biodiversity Data Centre are delighted to announce the publication of an ‘Identification Guide to Ireland’s Bats’. For the first time ever, Ireland now has a field guidebook to Ireland’s Bats for its nine resident bat species and two vagrant bat species.

The 60-page, ring-bound, pocket-sized publication is an easy to read, simple guide which will help readers distinguish Irish bats based on their morphological features. There are lots of photos and illustrations of each species and their distinguishing traits. In addition, each species has been provided with descriptions of its distribution, habitats, flight style, roosts and emergence. Also, because so much bat identification in the field is based on sounds, we have included QR codes that link to sounds of typical echolocation calls for each species from both tuneable and full spectrum bat detectors.

Please see following link to bat sounds to aid your learning.
