Another Barn, another Brown long eared bat

Cherryfield Ecology has been doing several barn surveys of late. Most of the time when doing these surveys it is difficult to find the bats because of the vast number of holes, gaps and crevices located in them.

Two surveys on barns recently have given us the opportunity to find brown long eared bats.

The bat in the picture above is typical of how we find brown long eared bats, hanging on the rafters or ridge line of the barn!
