Windows open ;D - but as it happened, not very wide this morning.

We used to get them in our old house quite frequently. I once found one squashed under the kitchen bin. I can only assume it squeezed under there for a nap just before I plonked something heavy in!!
Here's one that was a bit more lucky!

I rather like them. However, as a committed Christian, this does give me some issues....... when you look at a bat, you either have to accept the theory of evolution, or you have to believe that one day God woke up and exclaimed "I know what we need! A Gerbil with a hang glider!!" ;D ;)

:D :D Terry Pratchett has a very good take on that in one of his many books - how all the little things were designed ;D However, I'm firmly in the Evolution camp and I do love bats. They fly around here but we haven't seen a roost or a hibernation place yet. Here it's swallows coming in for a nosey - my 93 yo aunt caught one yesterday in her granny flat, to put back outside and is well pleased with herself ;D
