Data sources: these data are a combination of recent records submitted to the group, and collected in 2012 through the Big Norwich Bat Project (BNBP). The BNBP was led by the University of East Anglia in collaboration with the British Trust for Ornithology and Norwich Bat Group (particular thanks to Katie May, Beth Robinson, Iain Barr and Stuart Newson).
