Stour Valley Summer
While I was cleaning up the loft above the garage, after the swallows had gone, I noticed this Brown Long-eared Bat.
Plecotus Auritus:- Brown long-eared bats appear to select roosting sites according to the houses available. Preferences for older buildings with partitioned roofs which are within 0.5 km of woodland and water have been recorded. Brown long-eared bats also exhibit a preference for warmer houses for summer roost sites. Obviously Cookwell must tick all of those boxes, although this is the first time to my knowledge, there has been one in here.
Maybe the swallows have gone into the 'sub-letting' business? - Graham Rains (photographer)
