Bats, Traps and Acoustics by Kelley Sheldrick
4 July 2025 , 7:30 am – 9:00 pm
Join Kelly Sheldrick for a talk about citizen science bat surveys in southwest WA, and learn more about these elusive mammals, which make up around a third of all mammal species in the region.
The presentation will cover the survey techniques used, including the use of acoustic lures to increase capture rates during bat trapping. Kelly will also share initial findings from recent trapping and acoustic surveys conducted across the southwest, from Two Rocks to Denmark.
Doors open at 7.10 pm and the meeting begins at 7.30 pm at the Hew Roberts Lecture Theatre, University of Western Australia, Nedlands. Parking is available at the Gordon St or Clifton St entrances to the campus. All are welcome to attend, with a donation of $3 for members or $5 for non-members giving you a chance to win the door prize (EFTPOS available). The main presentation will be followed by a short “focus” talk, after which you are welcome to join us for tea/coffee and conversation.
