March 23, 20215 yr I had a planning condition to install bat boxes on my property. So I discussed their requirements and agreed to put three suitable boxes on a south facing tree. I sent numerous invitations to the bats, but they didn't move in for a while. But one evening last autumn I saw a bat inspect one of the boxes. So far, so good. Now I find that some very noisy neighbours have moved in next to the bat, and he's complaining about nuiscence hammering all day. Someone shoud really write to the greater spotted woodpeckers in question about the noise and damage... They aren't getting the security deposit back, that's for certain. Better make some more bat boxes before the council complain about contition number 6 no longer being met.
March 23, 20215 yr Cheeky buggers! It should be obvious that these are homes for night shift workers only ? I am putting bat boxes on the house so I will be the noisy neighbour, hammering all day ?
March 23, 20215 yr The noise will be the least of their worries, Woodpeckers have been known to eat bats.
