BatGuru: a British bat ID helper

My BatGuru is a program written in Gambas which helps me identify British bat species based upon echolocation call data.


It simply saves me having to juggle the key parameters in my head as I scan the charts in my reference book.


But identifying bats from their calls is tricky due to the wide variability of their calls.
