Last night I had a big shock - a bat had decided my bedroom was the place to be and at 1 am it made unlikely manoevre and squeezed through the curtains. Usually it is my cat Twix that leaps through the bedroom window,up near the eaves carrying a terrified little vole which will either be saved by me if I can manage to drag myself out of bed half asleep or I will find in one or more bits on my carpet in the morning! But last night was different and quite scary as I spent half the time screaming and glued to my bed under the covers.Bats are small when the wings are closed but boy are they big when flying and diving up and down. My screams woke my daughter and we both spent an hour and a half trying to get the flying,diving creature out.We succeeded at last and blery eyed ,I had to change the sheets for during the hour and half session, hald a ton of bat poo was on my sheets! The joys of wildlife and gardening are sometimes such a delight!
