Philip Briggs explained that breeding in bats appeared to be delayed last year,probably due to the cold spring and unusually wet summer.Mr. Briggs predicted that this year,the bats’ breeding season could again have been delayed due to the cold spring,but he added,“I suppose if we continue with the current good weather,which could help improve breeding success and survival throughout the summer,but we’ll just have to see how things go.”

　　Seventeen species of bats breed in the UK,including the rare Bechstein’s bat,the distinctive-looking brown long-eared bat and the Daubenton’s bat,also known as the “water bat” because it catches insects from water surfaces.Over the past 15 years,the National Bat Monitoring Programme has shown that the population of all the surveyed bat species is increasing.However,Dr.Barlow commented,“All our bats produce only one baby a year,so a few years of bad weather could have a great impact on numbers of bats if they are unable to find enough food to allow them to breed successfully.”

　　A.They usually feed on insects.
