One of the recommendations in our planning permission was that we should make a provision for bat habitat. A conversation in the local pub led to us acquiring a couple of bat boxes from a local RSPB group (thanks to Dave Hardwick). The boxes are made from offcuts of softwood from a local furniture factory.
We aren’t quite sure where to locate them yet, but the most likely location is in the larger trees in the bottom field. But more of an update on this once we have done a bit of research.
These are made by a local RSPB group from offcuts of timber from a furniture factory. We need to work out exactly where to locate them, probably in some of the larger trees on the property rather than being attached to the house or outbuildings.
