• WHAT is going on with our bats here in Camden? Where have my regular twilight visitors gone?

Did they go into some of HS2’s and other “regeneration project” construction industry wood-chippers and building demolition site rubble skips?

I should very much like to know who in Camden has been keeping a formal eye on bat populations. I just used to really enjoy them and, sadly, now they have disappeared and perhaps they are no more.

I would be grateful for enlightenment regarding monitoring of local bat colonies and any recent changes observed.
