Apodemus BatLure
Please note the price above is a guide, please get in contact for a quotation.
The Apodemus BatLure plays bat recordings and other sounds up to 100KHz, making it a useful tool for bat workers and researchers.
By playing recordings of social- and echolocation calls, the BatLure can be used attract bats to an area to catch them or to draw their attention to newly erected bat boxes or hibernacula. It can also help to localize mating roosts by playing male vocalizations and observing the response of territorial males.
Play-back of bat calls is also very useful during training and bat-detector courses, and for testing bat recorders.
The Bat Lure can play back recordings made in time expansion or real time. Time expansion recordings are automatically recognized and played back in real time. Recordings are uploaded onto the lure using an SD card, and it is powered by 8 x AA batteries, with an option to connect to 12V.
