Bat Conservation Ireland developed an online bat records database in 2004 with grant funding from The Heritage Council.

We would like to encourage bat workers around the country to add their own bat records to the database – to do so, or for more detailed searching of the database, contact us. You can take a look at validated records from our database using the form below. Alternatively, you can view the data on the website of the National Biodiversity Data Centre using their online mapping tool (subject to terms and conditions).

If you have seen bats and would like to share your findings with others you can also enter your record into our bat sightings map, we would love to hear about your bat observations.
