Sad to report our bats seem to have departed, leaving a sprinkling of visiting cards of course! Have heard since that another house has been having problems with bats making a home where it wasn’t great idea. After research we were ok with the bats in the attic over the garage. Although attached to the house, the attic is almost completely separated from the attic above the house. Small gap between, big enough for bats though.
We seem to have a young wood pigeon who sits on the bird tray spying on DH in his office, unfazed by us at the window. A near neighbour had a nest in a climbing plant attached to house. The pigeons must have got used to her comings and going. So we wonder whether this pigeon is one of those. Unusual for pigeons round here. Usually fly off as soon as you go near. Got rather fond of it!
