Hi Henrya,
Great I like Brown Long-eared Bats and Pipistrelles but was hoping that the rare Noctule bats may also visit the site as the area is rich in insects and small birds.
We will try to site them as high as practicably possible on my site to reduce the risk of disturbance even though not many people visit the wood, only other plot holders as it is a Private woodland. We hope also to put up a few notices around the edge of the plot warning others not to disturb the area as it is a Bat Sanctuary.
If we put up any bird boxes then we will site them away from the trees with the bat boxes or even put them on other plots we own well away from the intended Bat Sanctuary.
It will take a couple of years before our site is up and running properly as we have to survey the site properly and mark out the plot with boundary posts.
Make a plan of the plot and which trees are suitable for sitting the Bat Boxes.
Thanks for your advice regard John
