We went back to\u00a0 have another try to catch a Nathusius. It was quite a windy night and we got very cold. We heard\u00a0 a number of Nathusius flying past, but they did not come into the traps. We did catch a number of soprano pipistrelles, a Daubenton’s and a Natterer’s. At midnight, having finished the cake we threw in the towel. While waiting for the 2nd trap to be dismantled, Tim and I stood by the car and dreaming of\u00a0 hot drinks. When Bob and Tony got back\u00a0 they had a bat with them. Torn between the desire for warmth and the sight of a handsome bat there was really no choice.<\/p>\n

Bob took a very stately photograph<\/p>\n
