Rare sighting.

[Bushwhacker]

I'm rather pleased to learn from someone with supreme knowledge that the bats I've been seeing in the woods are quite a rare species - Bechstein Bats.

Would love to say that I have pics, but that would be damned near impossible.

Anyhow, nice to know they're about.

Hello Mate
Did you know that the German translation for Batman would be Heir Flitter mouse . Not so hard now is he

(The german spelling is Fledermaus but is pronounced as above)

You are dead lucky to have those in your woods.

Ha ha, nice one Phil. How'd the wedding go btw?

I know.
I've noticed the bat boxes around but didn't know what was in them until I found out.
It seems that Dorset is one of the last strongholds for them.

Was a great day mate , perfect weather an all.
Will not be working after next week any more. Maybe a few nights in the woods down your way before I head off to Germany?

You're more than welcome, hit me up with some dates. Maybe a coastal session could be in order.

Is this not an introduced species ?, there's no mention of them in my 'older' wildlife books. I had to google it, as I have never heard of them. Personally I think we're lucky to have any species of bat,I can't tell what sp. they are when they're flying around anyway.
