Britain’s Rarest: Grey Long-Eared Bats (and how to help them)

Do you want to know more about Grey Long-Eared Bats and how YOU can help them?
This is a comprehensive, informative, & factual video about one of Britain's rarest animals (mammals in particular), the Grey Long-Eared Bat, and how to help conserve them.
This is the third episode of a series called 'Britain's Rarest', in which I cover some of Britain's most endangered, but also most beautiful animals, as well as what you can do to help them.
This video covers a wide range of information about the rare Grey Long-Eared Bat, with a conservation-focused section for you at the end.

    Do you know about another endangered animal in the UK that you'd like me to make a video on? Let me know in the comments 😀

    @baz frearson sounds like an incredible experience! I can't think what bat it'd be exactly, but if you say long ears, it'd probably be a long-eared! Also, you said only one exists in England? Then you'd be talking about the Greater Mouse-Eared. Thanks for sharing the story Baz! Cool stuff

    Brilliant video! Thanks for sharing :) There are a few of these bats near me where I’m staying at the moment, I could see them outside my tent each night.
