Bats Waking Up

A colony of pipistrelle bats have always loved to make their home in the spaces between the boarding of elm planks on the farm. Watch the video taken by Stefan on the farm and you'll see one yawning and another preening it's wing ready for the evening flight-feast of midgies. Earlier on in the year a few from another colony under the eaves  found their way into our house and had to be rescued.
