Dacha we love bats ... near to this house there's a chalk mine in a hillside and it's the home to at least five different sorts of bats ... we love watching them as they fly around our house and garden in the summer.
Yvie ... tea and cake is very good
Obelixx ... I used to help Pa make Airfix aeroplanes ... I was very useful for handling the transfer decals as his hands were the size of shovels and just as hard and tough.
Fairy ... is there nothing intriguing going on elsewhere?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I like bats too so was very pleased when our Belgian garden turned out to have a colony of well over 30 pipistrelles. I had to rescue one that flew in and dived down behind a radiator. Very upset a few years later when they had dwindled to one and stayed as one for years.
There are bats round here too but I only ever see one or two at a time. Hope that will improve as we get the soil and garden sorted and more nectar rich plants to attract insects.
DL - in the UK it is illegal to handle bats without a licence. Good on you for rescuing and feeding.
Dove - if I were 20 or more years younger I'd probably have done Star Wars models.
