    Big improvement in Bat activity this evening from the garden, just north of Southampton: Lots of Common Pipistrelles, and a Noctule, plus 2 probable Serotines. Time to recharge your Bat Detector Batteries!

    roosting LEOs

    Hello All, Was lucky enough to find a pair of Long Eared Owls roosting in thick, tall hedgerow yesterday, (during my BTO survey!). Any thoughts on whether this is likely to be a winter roost, or a pair returned to their breeding area. There was no sign of them during the earlier winter survey...

    Mega Hip Starlings!

    Was I seeing things last night on ITV (UK). A Carling Lager Commercial featured a big flock of Starlings doing pre-roost acrobatics, to the sound of Hard-Fi's "Living for the Weekend"?! Didn't tempt me to go out and but a 6 pack of black label, but stuck in my mind! Anyone else see it?!

    Is Shetland still a mega hot spot for rarities?

    Do Bats give out echolocation signals when in roost, or perched?

    Hi All, Wonder if anyone can explain the following: On holiday recently in Corsica, I ventured out one evening with my batboxIII, and started to pick up a strong signal about 30 mins after dusk in a meadow/wooded area. Signal was fairly irregular, and medium paced at around 27KHz, and I...
