Pipstrelle Bats at Roswell Pits
29/06/09 12:42
Well into their breeding season, bats are now freely
feeding and easy to spot in the late dusk light of
summer. As in late October when we last saw them just
about to hibernate, the woodland at the bottom of
hill by Roswell Pits off Kiln Lane (TL 553 805 or
N+52 24' 3" E+0 16' 54") is a good location to see
Pipistrelle and Daubenton’s bats in flight. Both can
feed over water (Daubentons often a little higher
than Pipistrelles). Recorded in June the ‘wet smacks’
of the Pippistrelle are clearly heard, however,
despite trying we couldn’t get the Daubenton’s to
provide us with a recording.
