New species of bat discovered

A new species of bat has been discovered on the Island, according to the Manx Bat Group.

Nathusius's pipstrelle, they say, has now become the eighth species of the animal in Manx territories.

The species was first recorded in the 1940's in Great Britain and the Shetland Islands.

However, Manx recordings of the animal have now been done in June and July this year in the Peel and Ramsey areas.
