All British bats navigate and locate their insect prey by echolocation: making high-frequency ultrasonic calls and listening for the pattern of returning echoes. For bats in flight at night, a bat detector is a good way to identify species. So for each bat species, this guide includes both: the calls typically heard when using a heterodyne detector frequency range, peak frequency and sonogram when using a time expansion detector. But even without a bat detector, useful clues to species level can be gained by observing the flight pattern, emergence time in relation to sunset, habitat and location of roost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bat guide was produced in partnership with the Mammal Society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steven Cheshire: Sales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57200541335934,"sku":"BB-OP65","price":3.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/4096\/7550\/files\/AGuidetoBritishBats-FSCGuide.jpg?v=1776801752"},{"product_id":"land-mammals-of-britain","title":"Guide to the Land Mammals of Britain - FSC Guide","description":"\u003ch3\u003eThe FSC Land mammals guide features the major wild and naturalised land mammals of Britain and Ireland.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRodents, including rats, mice, squirrels and voles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsectivores, including hedgehogs, moles and shrews.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarnivores, including foxes, badgers, otters, pine martens, stoats, weasels and polecats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLagomorphs, inclding rabbits, brown hares and mountain hares.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeer, including red deer, fallow deer, roe deer and muntjac.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConfirmatory text accompanies the colour paintings.

Even though these aren’t as exciting as finding the tracks of wild animals, it is still worthwhile looking closely at them and getting familiar with what differentiates dogs from other mammals, such as foxes.
