I just popped out to get Baby (the cat) in for the night and found this little fella hanging around in the lean-to. I couldn't believe it, I never thought I'd feature a bat on the garden blog. Thats has really made my day.
Great to see the bat pic. I have bats in my old bakehouse. It's lovely to see them flying round in the evening. The swallows have all gone now. They left a week ago, off to warmer climes for winter, can't blame them. Peterbees, Conwy Valley.
