What is a roost? Here are some bat roost facts:

🪹 Bats do not make nests, but choose various places throughout the year to shelter, live and sleep in.
🦇 Where bats choose to roost varies between species and the time of the year.
📍 They don't stay in the same roost the whole year.

This week's #ShowMeYourKnitting and conveniently today's museum knitting is socks!
It's fun to do bright colours for gift knits because I never really wear them myself

Feeling this one again! 😀🦇
We need to do a tally of our outreach events & numbers of people reached for 2025! It has been busy!

A meme post with two pie charts. chart one - Nobody will remember - your salary, how busy you were, how many hours you worked, how many Gucci bags you owned. People will remember - how much you knew about bats, the time you spent learning about bats, if you knew facts about bats that made them smile, if they learned to love bats because of you.
