 Bats Close up! Just an observation.I grow Nicotina plants at the edge of patio,to attract moths and insects of an evening and this attracts the bats which fly literally inches above my head and we get hundreds of them every evening,could watch them for hours.

| How lovely and what a wonderful experience! I once had a job in a remote country house and the summer evening and nights were full of swallows ,bats and tawny owls teaching their babies how to hunt. Also,later in the year the wild and thrilling sound of rutting deer. Those memories have stayed with me and cheered me on many an occasion. |

| Whatyou need to do is grow plants with a strong evening scent to attract nocturnal insects and then the bats will turn up in there droves.Just remember I live in a city!

| I put up a bat box 2 years ago and I think it is occupied because there are droppings directly beneath it. But I have yet to see one fly out. I need a bat detector but they are not cheap. |

| We get bats flying round the 15' square back yard, literally at about 5' up! Its wonderful to see them, especially when you are sat out with the BBQ!
