Batty time

 Bore da pawb Croeso.

This is week has been all go awarding contracts for the winter projects across the estate that we manage, Wednesday I spent the day with Jenny and dan from Vincent Wildlife Trust | Conserving threatened mammalswith… they were installing the last of the additional roosting features into five out of the 6  WW11 bunkers at Pembrey Country Park, committed to Greater Horseshoe Bat conservation , the presence of two very flirty looking, yes flirty not flighty, GHB's stopped the sixth bunker being completed for now- in fact they weren't being flirty just good mates!

 These features, tiles and flower pots, have been       adapted to replicate roosting features in caves, very   clever. Many thanks to Dan and Jenny for what was a   very dusty job, no bats were disturbed during this   work which was carried out under licence.
