Greater and Lesser Horseshoe Bats, Orielton FSC
A day spent mainly in the lab working through the catch of invertebates from the pitfall traps that we set in the dunes on Friday. Highlight of the day was watching the horseshoe bats leave their roost in the stables. Today we counted at least 20 Lessers and 3 Greaters, the latter emiting sound at 80kHZ. Amazing how close they came, at times I almost felt like ducking because they surely must hit me!
