I'm in a bit of a quandary. There are some old cow byres next door to us
that have been out of use for some time and the bats have moved in. I have
today heard that the farmer is going to take the roof off the byres as it's
unsafe but what happens to the bats? Aren't they protected and therefore
you can't just go around unhousing them? I don't want to upset the
relationship we have with the farmer but I don't want the bats ousted/harmed
either.

What would you do in this situation?

There is some legal info on the Bat Conservation Trust website,
http://www.bats.org.uk/batlaw.htm, might be worth giving them a call?
