    I'm lucky enough to have at least 2 species of bats visiting each year.  I think one species is Noctule as they are large and I can actually hear them (sounds like 'clicking') but not sure about the others.  I enjoy sitting out on a warm night just after sunset and watching them flitting around catching insects in the fading light.  It's quite amazing how agile they are in the air! 

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
