10th European Bat Detector Workshop

In connection to the European Bat Research Symposium every three years, it has since 1991 been a tradition to organize a bat detector workshop just before or after the conference. With this years conference in Donostia (the Basque country), the 26 year old tradition was almost forgotten. So it is the pleasure of Nordic Chiroptera Information Center (NIFF) and Bluebat to inviting you to the 10th European Bat Detector Workshop. The event was organized in Bidarrai (the Basque country) just on the French side of the Spanish border, only 76 km from the conference in Donostia (San Sebastián). The workshop started on the same evening as the conference ended, allowing people to travel directly from one event to the other.

The European Bat Detector Workshop has traditionally been organized in connection to the European Bat Research Symposium. However, from 2011 there has been no practice for the symposium organizers to also organize the workshop. The aim of the workshop was to get field training in practical bat work. This included the use of various detectors, and capture techniques.

Responsible organizers were Leif Gjerde (NIFF) and Didier Mauuary (Bluebat). Local organizers were Juan Tomás Alcalde, Nicolas Bernos (CPIE, the Basque Country) and Nicolas Valet (Auddice).
