Circling crazily ..

Holy moley.

Warm dark night. Windows & doors open.

Suddenly a large bat circling crazily at speed in the lounge. Long pointed wings.

Guessing a noctule. Our largest UK bat. And loudest - but the frequency of their calls is beyond human hearing.

Opened patio doors wide. And gone.

Amazing wildlife encounter.

I’m delighted to have got a grant for twenty top-of-the-range ‘woodcrete’ Schweigler bat nursery boxes. These are the ones that mum’s rear their pups in. Currently on order from Germany. Can’t wait to put them up.

Notts Bat Group with us on Friday afternoon for another fortnight with the static bat detectors.
