11.1.5 Bats
11.1.5.1 Method
Data was gathered on the current bat assemblage through a combination of habitat assessment and activity surveys; each technique is described in detail below.
General Methods
Surveys were undertaken in June and August 2012 to provide adequate coverage of the European bat maternity and migration seasons (Ref. 11.1.1).
Each survey team included highly experienced and qualified bat ecologists, who were skilled in undertaking activity surveys and in the use of remote detection equipment.
The survey methodology was designed to provide adequate coverage of two proposed pipeline routes and four potential receiving station locations.
11.1.5.2 Habitat Survey and Assessment
At the time of writing, the exact route of the pipeline was unknown; as such, all habitats within 100 m of either of the proposed pipeline routes along with habitat within or adjacent to the four potential receiving stations were assessed as to their suitability for supporting bats. Specifically, a search was undertaken for high quality bat habitat that enabled important ecological functions such as roosting, foraging, commuting, mate-swarming and migrating.
11.1.5.3 Bat Roosts
Galata AGI
The only buildings present within 100 m of the proposed development were located at the recently constructed Galata Gas Above Ground Installation (AGI). Each building within the pumping station was assessed for bat roost potential by identifying features that could be used by bats such as access points and roosting locations. Evidence of the usage of buildings by bats such as droppings and staining of brickwork at roost entrance/ exit points (from oils in the animal’s fur) was also recorded where identified.
No interior inspections of the loft spaces of the buildings were undertaken and the bat roost potential survey was limited to and external visual inspection of each building.
A combined dusk emergence and dawn re-entry survey was undertaken on the buildings within the existing Galata AGI on 30th and 31st August 2012. Four surveyors, each carrying handheld bat detection equipment (Duet and Edirol), were strategically positioned around the buildings (but outside of the security fence) to observe potential bat access points during key periods. These potential access points were identified during the prior bat roost potential assessment survey.
URS-EIA-REP-202375 29
Appendix 11.1 Ecology Baseline Survey Data
The dusk emergence survey began 15 minutes prior to sunset and lasted for approximately one hour. The dawn re-entry survey began approximately one hour prior to sunrise and terminated at sunrise. Data were downloaded and analysed using Pettersson BatSound software.
11.1.5.4 Trees
Trees situated on or within 100 m of the proposed pipeline routes and receiving stations were assessed for their potential to support roosting bats. The tree assessment sought to identify the presence of features that could support roosts, such as cracks, crevices, woodpecker holes, rot holes and deep fissures. Each feature was assessed as to its accessibility (including flight lines and clutter), the protection it afforded occupants and an estimation of anthropogenic disturbance levels. Typically, only trees that are sufficiently large in size contain suitable features and, although this is influenced by the species of trees, they typically measure greater than 50 cm DBH (Diameter at Breast Height i.e. diameter at 1.5 m in height).
Based on the number and location of these features, trees were assigned categories as follows:
• Confirmed roost;
• High potential: numerous roosting locations and access points, well connected to suitable habitat and largely free from anthropogenic disturbance;
• Moderate potential: roosting locations and access points present, well connected to suitable habitat, subject to moderate levels of anthropogenic disturbance;
• Low potential; limited opportunities for roosting and access and subject to relatively high levels of disturbance; and
• Negligible potential.
Trees assessed as having low, moderate or high potential or a confirmed roost were recorded and mapped using a GPS device.
11.1.5.5 Bat Activity
Walked Transects
Two transect routes were identified through aerial photography and current development plans. The transect routes largely followed existing tracks and access roads, but were also designed to cover as much of the two proposed pipeline routes as possible (VLF-A and VLF-B; Figure 4). Bats typically navigate along linear features, such as woodland edges and rides, so it is unlikely that bats were missed where the transect routes deviated slightly from the pipeline route (which occasionally crossed dense woodland). The transects were as follows (see Figure 4):
• VLF-A Transect – commenced at the Galata AGI and followed the route of the existing Galata pipeline, terminating at the beach in the east; and
• VLF-B Transect – commenced adjacent to the Liman wetlands, crossing woodland using the existing vehicular access track, a meadow and an area of scrub before meeting the transmission lines that ran southwards towards the Galata pipeline.
30 URS-EIA-REP-202375
A team of surveyors walked each transect recording and mapping bats as and when encountered. To aid detection, each team was equipped with a handheld bat detector (BatBox Duet) coupled with a MP3/WAV recording device (Edirol). Bat calls were recorded, downloaded and analysed using Pettersson BatSound software (Version 4), which ascribed a higher degree of confidence in species-level identification.
Where bats were encountered, their species, location and current activity were recorded on pro-forma survey forms. Bat activity was defined using the following categories:
• Commuting: a single pass on the detector;
• Foraging: several passes and/or a feeding buzz; and
• Social Behaviour: social calls and/or chasing behaviour recorded.
Each activity survey comprised two components, an evening and a dawn transect. Evening transects began at sunset and lasted between 1.5 and two hours. Dawn transects typically began 1.5 hours prior to and was terminated at sunrise. All surveys were undertaken under appropriate environmental conditions (refer to Table 2), which included no rain, little to no wind and greater than 10°C air temperature at dusk.
In addition to the above, a dusk and dawn activity transect was undertaken following the emergence survey undertaken at the Galata AGI. The abridged activity transect included the vineyard and woodland located immediately to the north and west of the Galata AGI (see Figure 11.1.4) and is referred to in this report as the Northern Transect.
Static Detector Survey
Four Song Meter 2 (SM2) remote bat detectors were deployed for four consecutive nights in mid-August and again in late-August 2012. The SM2s are automatically triggered by bat (echolocation) calls and, because they are able to remain in situ for prolonged periods of time, they are useful for compiling species lists. The SM2s can also be used to indicate relative activity levels for specific points within the Site.
The SM2 detectors were placed at four locations within areas of suitable bat foraging/ commuting habitat during the first survey period in August. During the second survey period, the SM2 detectors were placed at the sites of two potential receiving stations and two sites within suitable foraging/ commuting habitat (see Table 11.1.9 below). The locations of the static detector surveys are shown on Figure 11.1.4.

Data from the SM2s were downloaded and analysed using Pettersson BatSound software. A bespoke scale of activity was devised for the project based on the relative abundance and diversity of bat species to assist with the analysis of data. The scale was based on number of passes per species per hour. The following scale is used in the evaluation:
• Low activity: less than five passes per species per hour;
• moderate activity: between five and ten passes per species per hour; and
• high activity; greater than ten passes per species per hour.
On one occasion (27-31. August.2012) an SM2 was placed adjacent to a potential roosting location (N43 06 45.5, E27 53 38.3). Although the detectors cannot distinguish between commuting and emerging bats, calls recorded early in the evening and late in the morning are indicative of a roost in the local area.
11.1.5.6 Limitations
Although every effort was made to identify trees suitable for supporting roosting bats, a small number may have been missed. However, the low numbers of bats recorded throughout the Site, through both static and transect surveys, indicate that there is unlikely to be a significant roosts present in the local area and this is not considered to represent a constraint to the assessment
It is important to recognise the limitations of remote detectors, which include the risk that whispering bats (such as those belonging to Plecotus spp.) could be missed (this is equally applicable to transect surveys). In addition, the data collected do not allow distinction between a large number of single passes by multiple bats or repeated passes by a single bat.
The combined dusk emergence and dawn re-entry survey was undertaken from locations outside the perimeter security fence and as such, not all of the buildings within the Galata AGI could be observed. It is possible that a small number of emerging bats were missed.
The dusk emergence survey was terminated after one hour in favour of undertaking an activity transect. By shortening emergence surveys, there is a risk that species of bats known to emerge later in the evening (which are typically photophobic, such as Plecotus sp.) could be
URS-EIA-REP-202375 35
Appendix 11.1 Ecology Baseline Survey Data
missed. However, the buildings within the Galata AGI were highly illuminated by security reducing the likelihood that the buildings would be used by photophobic bats.
11.1.5.7 Results
Bat Roosts
Galata AGI
The Galata AGI included four recently constructed single-storey brick-built buildings, which all had pitched roofs clad in clay tiles. Gaps were present throughout the roof in the form of slipped and raised tiles, which allowed access to small numbers for bats. The walls were in good condition and unlikely to contain roosting features. The AGI was surrounded by high quality bat foraging habitat which included both woodland and scrub. However, the pumping station was brightly lit throughout the night by high-power security lighting, which is likely to reduce the suitability of the buildings for bats, particularly photophobic species.
A summary of the weather conditions during the dusk emergence and dawn re-entry survey of the buildings at the Galata AGI undertaken on 30th and 31st August 2012 is provided in Table 11.1.10 and 11.1.11.
A single Pipistrellus pipistrellus was observed emerging from beneath a tile on the southern aspect of the roof of the office block at 20:09 approximately 25 minutes after sunset. No other emergence of bats was recorded during the dusk emergence survey.
No bats were recorded returning to the building during the dawn re-entry survey, and it is concluded that the roost identified during the dusk emergence survey is a transient roost used on an occasional basis only by individual or small numbers of Pipistrellus pipistrellus.

Trees
A large proportion of woodland, within 100 m of the proposed development, comprised semi-mature Robinia pseudoacacia (~40 ha) and Quercus rubra (~30 ha) plantations, which were of similar age and size and lacking in heterogeneous structure. The majority of the trees measured approximately 30 cm DBH, and were assessed to be insufficiently mature to support features that could be used by bats.
A single mature tree (Quercus rubra), located at N43 06 45.5 E27 53 38.3, was assessed as having moderate bat roost potential. A woodpecker hole with possible staining around the entrance was identified on the southern aspect of the main stem at c. 4 m in height. The entrance to the hole was partly obscured by foliage, limiting the flight access for larger species of bat such as Nyctalus noctula.
An SM2 (09866) detector was subsequently deployed at a location adjacent to the identified tree for a period of four nights. Four Pipistrellus pipistrellus calls were recorded within 10 minutes of sunrise on 30th August 2012. As no bat calls were recorded early in the evening of 29th August or early in the evening of the 30th August, these bat calls are likely to represent either a single foraging bat or a small number of commuting bats rather than a roost within the tree. However, the calls are considered likely to indicate the presence of a bat roost in the immediate vicinity given the proximity of the records to sunrise.
Two trees with low bat roost potential were identified at N43 06.195 E027 55.297 and N43 06.241 E 027 55.270 respectively. However, as both of these trees were situated over 100 m from either of the proposed pipeline routes, they are assessed to be outside the zone of influence and are not considered further in this assessment.

VLF-A Transect
Relatively high levels of bat activity were recorded along the VLF-A transect during the surveys, which were dominated by Pipistrellus pipistrellus and P. nathusii. Both species were frequently recorded commuting and/or foraging along the open ‘ride’ along the existing Galata pipeline route, or the woodland edges present at either side. Less commonly encountered species included Barbastella barbastellus (two passes on a single evening), P. pygmaeus (a single pass), Plecotus auritus (a single pass) and an unidentified Myotis species (two passes on a single evening).
In addition, foraging P. pipistrellus and P. nathusii were frequently recorded foraging within the grounds of the Galata AGI, presumably attracted by the abundance of invertebrates swarming around the security lights. Pipistrellus as a group are not considered to be sensitive to bright lights.
VLF-B Transect
Significantly lower levels of bat activity were recorded along the VLF-B transect, with the exception of the wetland area situated within Liman. Four species of bat were recorded foraging within and adjacent to the wetland including P. auritus, P. pipistrellus, P. nathusii and P. pygmaeus. Low levels of bat activity were recorded along the remainder of the VLF-B transect route, comprising single passes of Barbastella barbastellus and Nyctalus noctula and a small number of passes of P. pygmaeus.

28 – 30 August 2012
VLF-A Transect
Survey results from the August transects were found to be broadly concurrent with those of the June transects, with bat activity dominated by P. pipistrellus and P. nathusii. Both species were recorded, albeit less frequently the previous transects, foraging and commuting along the existing Galata pipeline. A single pass by Nyctalus leisleri was recorded from the confluence of the transmission lines and Galata pipeline.
Pipistrellus nathusii was recorded foraging within and adjacent to the Galata AGI.
VLF-B Transect
An increase bat activity was recorded from the VLF-B transect when compared to that recorded during the June transects, although the species assemblages were largely concurrent with records dominated by P. pipistrellus and P. nathusii. Small numbers of P. pipistrellus and P. nathusii were recorded commuting and/or foraging throughout the transmission lines, scrub edge, woodland rides and meadow area. A single pass of Eptesicus serotinus and P. pygmaeus were recorded along the transmission lines and woodland edge respectively.
The VLF-B transect appears to support a lower density of bats but a higher diversity of species; there is a clear shift to being dominated by just two species in August. This shift in diversity is likely to be influenced by the onset of bat migration with the other species recorded in June (B. barbastellus, N.noctula and P.auritus) having already departed for their autumn swarming/ mating sites outside the surveyed area.
31 August 2012
Northern Transect
Small numbers of P. pipistrellus and P. nathusii were recorded during the northern transect, principally foraging along boundary hedgerows. No bats were observed foraging directly over the vineyards.
Static Detector Surveys
The SM2 detectors were attached to trees adjacent to existing access tracks, see Figure 4. Raw data collected during the static detector surveys is presented in Appendix B.
13-17 August 2012; Sunrise 05:15, Sunset 19:55
The static detectors recorded four species of bat in total, although the registrations were dominated by P. pipistrellus. Sixty-two passes of P. pygmaeus were recorded between 05:00 and 06:00 on 16th August 2012. As the calls were spaced out over an hour and only ever contained a single call, it is likely that this high level of activity was the result of a single bat foraging in close proximity to the detector. Moderate levels of P. nathusii and Plecotus auritus activity were recorded along with constant but low levels of P. pipistrellus throughout.
URS-EIA-REP-202375 39
Appendix 11.1 Ecology Baseline Survey Data
SM2 ‘EWC’ did not detect any bat activity during this survey period; there is no indication of mechanical fault.
The SM2’s indicate that the Site is used by low numbers of relatively widespread bats.
27th – 31 August 2012; Sunrise 05:10, Sunset 19:50
Moderate levels of Pipistrellus nathusii and Nyctalus leisleri activity were recorded at the northern-most of the proposed receiving station (N43 07 20.4, E27 53 59.6). In addition, low levels of activity were also recorded from P. pipistrellus, P. pygmaeus and Nyctalus noctula. The remaining SM2’s recorded low to moderate levels of P. pipistrellus activity along with very infrequent records of Plecotus auritus and Pipistrellus pygmaeus.
The SM2’s indicate that the Site is used by low numbers of relatively widespread bats. However, fewer bats than the previous static survey were recorded, despite an increase in species diversity.
11.1.5.8 Evaluation
No confirmed tree roosts were identified within the survey area (development area plus a 100 m buffer). The average age and hence size of trees within the surrounding plantations was considered to be too small and immature to contain features potentially suitable for roosting bats; moreover, the trees are considered unlikely to develop suitable features within the next ten years.
A single P. pipistrellus was observed emerging from beneath a roof tile of a building located within the Galata AGI. As a confirmed bat roost, the building is afforded protection under the Council Directive 92/43/EEC on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora (the Habitats Directive). However, as the identified roost contained small numbers (i.e. a non-breeding roost) of a relatively common species, the roost is considered to be of local value only. Moreover, the high-power security lighting present around the buildings is likely to deter photophobic species of bat from using the site. The Pipistrellus group are not thought to be particularly sensitive to lighting and were recorded actively foraging around the security lights on numerous occasions.
No other confirmed bat roosts were recorded.
In total, eight species of bat were identified, namely: Pipistrellus pipistrellus, P. pygmaeus, P. nathusii, Barbastella barbastellus, Nyctalus noctula, Nyctalus leisleri, Eptesicus serotinus, Plecotus auritus and an unidentified Myotis. Despite the relatively high diversity, recorded activity was dominated by P. pipistrellus and P. pygmaeus. Habitats along the VLF-A transect was found to support higher numbers of individuals of fewer species than those along the VLF-B transect. In contrast, habitats along the VLF-B transect typically supported a greater diversity but comprised lower numbers of bats. This is with the exception of the Liman wetlands, which appeared to be an important area for foraging bats due to the abundance of invertebrate prey.
40 URS-EIA-REP-202375
The proposed pipeline routes fall within two Natura 2000 sites, namely Galata and Liman. The following bat species are known to occur within the Galata Site and are listed as Annex II species under the Habitats Directive:
• Barbastella barbastellus;
• Miniopterus schreibersi;
• Myotis bechsteini;
• Myotis blythii;
• Myotis capaccinii;
• Myotis emarginatus;
• Myotis myotis;
• Rhinolophus blasii;
• Rhinolophus euryale;
• Rhinolophus ferrumequinum;
• Rhinolophus hipposideros; and
• Rhinolophus mehelyi.
Of these species, the combined surveys detected very infrequent records of B. barbastellus, limited to two foraging records along the VLF-A transect and a single commuting record on the VLF-B transect. This species is known to exhibit a strong selectional preference towards tree roosts and the paucity of suitable trees is likely to preclude the species from roosting on or near to the site. Given the long distances this species is known to travel, a roost may be present in the wider landscape with small numbers of foraging individuals venturing on to the study site from known populations in the adjacent Galata and Liman protected sites.
In addition, there was a single record of an unidentified Myotis on the VLF-A transect, which may have been one of the three identified Myotis species present within the Galata and Liman protected sites. The development was not considered to be suitable for bats of the Rhinolophidae (horseshoe) family as it lacked roosting locations for what is principally a cave and building dwelling group. It is possible that Rhinolophid bats are present in the wider landscape; however, none were detected in the current suite of surveys.
Overall, fewer than expected bat species and numbers were recorded within the study area. Although the reasons for this depressed activity are unclear, the current levels of anthropogenic disturbance coupled with a paucity of roosting locations are likely to represent a constraint on both diversity and abundance levels.
