Bat Licence Return Data (1996 - 2009)
This former Countryside Council for Wales (CCW), who are now part of Natural Resources Wales (NRW) dataset is a collation of licence return data for work carried out on bat sites in Wales. The collation was created to add to the picture of bat distributions in Wales, to collect relevant data in one place and to mobilise records which may not otherwise be available. The dataset does not represent a systematic coverage/survey of Wales. Location of records is generally random, depending on the requirements of the licence holders. Records are provided by licence holders, who have very variable recording ability. The dataset has been subject to some basic validation to eradicate erroneous outlying records and inputting errors.

Licence return forms are completed by licence holders as a condition of receiving the licence. Licences are issued to organisations and individuals to permit activities which would otherwise be unlawful, such as deliberately collecting, capturing or disturbing scheduled species, or damaging or destroying their roosting sites and hibernacula. Some more recent mammal licence return data has been digitised by Cofnod. Cofnod act as data custodian and hold the top copy of this licence return data, not the data held in Recorder 6 which is managed by NRW.
