I took a jaunt into Wales and stopped at an inn for a swift one,the locals only spoke welsh!, but being a nice guy i ended up in a conversation
The subject was mice in the eaves,i ended up looking at 3-4 small droppings in the pub loft!
The droppings were dry and crumbled easily between finger and thumb,a quick look outside, more droppings, confirmed my thoughts
Pipistrelle Bats
Convincing people that it is a privilege to be chosen by bats (i would love some of my very own) is not always easy but in this case worked and led to me being shown a roost under a canal bridge where 10 or more bats, not pips, but could not identify, obligingly flew for half an hour before disappearing into the gloom
Walking back to the inn i was told about Glow-worms
Yes Glow-worms ,short on knowledge i asked to see them only half believing (they work for Disney dont they?),
lo and behold in a very overgrown lane 3 small smudges of light and that was it
a beetle looking like a big version of a ladybird lavae 15mm is responsible
Quick back in the car before im shown the welsh equivelant of the haggis
