If you step out onto your balcony or take an evening stroll, you might be lucky enough to spot some of our resident bats.🦇

The Natterer’s Bat, one of 18 species found across the UK. With its long, delicate ears, small pointed nose, and broad wings, this agile creature takes to the night skies in search of midges, crane flies, small moths, and spiders.

Often seen around our nature reserves and heaths, these remarkable creatures play a vital role in the ecosystem here at Silverlake.
