Working first with cattle and sheep, then as a gamekeeper on a small country estate, it was when he moved to Epping Forest, in 2001, that his interest in bats was born. Two years later, while attending a bat training course, he met the co-authors of this book; this led to them working together on many bat-related studies. Keith has been fortunate to record bats in some exotic locations such as the Amazon, Costa Rica, USA and several African countries. view less
