Hi all,
Spent last night Storm Petrel ringing in North Wales. I'll post a full report on that later on, however during the night several pipistrelle bats were flying around, which all managed to avoid our net, but one bat, bigger than pipistrelle went straight in. I took a photo and wondered if anybody could identify it for me. We tentitively id'd it as Daubenton's, but don't know enough about bats to be sure. We were right by the sea in North Wales.
The bat was released ok and flew away happily, even if it looks a bit annoyed in the photo!
Thanks
Colin
