We spent delightful afternoons watching the martins hunt and chirrup
incessantly to each other, then evenings watching the bats hunting the
insects attracted by the castle floodlights - never seen so many bats in
my life nor so clearly :-)

Now you'll traumatise Judith, talking about bats flying around! We enjoy
the ones we get here so much. I think I've seen at least one already but am
hoping that last year's terrible cold and wet didn't finish them off. We
had a colony nesting in between the paling walls of a shed and could hear
them squeaking when we walked past. Sometime a little head would pop out
and quickly pop back in again when its radar picked us up! But we haven't
heard them for some time and are a bit worried last summer starved them to
death.
