The blog has ben quiet for a few days because Bob was teaching a course for the Jersey bat group and they kindly let me gatecash and we had a couple of extra days to check out Durrell and the sandy beaches<\/p>\n

They casually mentioned hey have been seeking out houses with bat roosts in.This has taken a lot of survey effort and they have identified over 200 hundred of them. We were dead impressed, we just couldn’t hope to do that in a county our size (which is quite small by UK standards)<\/p>\n
