Inside the Bat Cave

Monday, October 26, BBC Two

Bats: what are they up to exactly? These nocturnal enigmas were the subject of a revealing programme in which zoologist Lucy Cooke and a team of conservationists studied a Greater Horseshoe Bat colony for four months. Horseshoe Bats are one of Britain’s most endangered species. As usual, that’s our fault. Using the latest science, Cooke and co took a respectful peek inside their life-cycle. It was packed with interesting information, great footage, lots of whispering and some enhanced audio of a bat munching on dead beetles and moths. So I can now tick that off the bucket list. We also met a woman who looks after lost and injured bats from her home in suburban Kent. Good work, everyone.
