BatLure
Please note: In the U.K a licence is required to use a bat lure for any activity that will cause disturbance to bats. If you are uncertain about whether you require a license, please seek advice from Natural England. If you are using a Bat Lure outside of the U.K it is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct licence where required.
The BatLure is a digital ultrasonic player and speaker which can playback sounds with frequencies of up to 100kHz, making it ideal for playing bat vocalisations. It is capable of playing both real-time and time-expanded recordings (and will automatically recognise when calls are time expanded and play them back in real time).
The BatLure is very compact and robust and has a tripod attachment mount, making it easy to set-up in your desired location. It plays sounds from an SD card which is supplied complete with several pre-loaded recordings. Users can also add their own recordings onto the card. Powered by 8 x AA batteries the BatLure can also be attached to an external 12V battery using the supplied cable.
The BatLure can be used:
- ​As a lure to improve catch rates of bats for survey or research
To attract bats to new artificial roosts such as bat boxes or constructed hibernacula - In the study of mating roosts via response of territorial males to played calls
- With bat detectors at training events or prior to bat walks
- For testing and calibration of bat detectors/recorders
