Roosting Pipistrelle bat

Tom and Paul checked some of nest boxes around the reserve today. Sadly, the nest box occupation is no better than last year (which was a poor one). They found half a dozen boxes with Great Tits near to fledging and reported that the Blue Tits are about a week or so behind. They also found 1 Wren nest and 1 Coal Tit nest.

A surprise find is pictured here. A Pipistrelle bat roosting behind a Wasp nest!
