OK this is going to be a bit farfetched as it's quite localised..
I was in Windsor yesterday walking along the Thames, about 9pm, pitch black, and could see bats flying around in the lights. Any idea what they would be?  I guess if someone knows that stretch of teh Thames I may get an answer

Quite a lot of species, can you describe the flight? size?
The fact they were drawn to light in quite an urban habitat is suggestive of one of the pipistrelles, (urban = common). |

Pipistrelles and possibly, being on the Thames, Daubentons. Borrow or buy yourself a bat detector. Seeing them is one thing, hearing the feeding buzz is absolutely amazing!

Can't give more description than what I've given I'm afraid, they literally just flew in and out of the light so fast.
Going out with a bat detector is one thing I've not done but would like to do, just not sure I can justify buying my own yet

Best check out your nearest bat group then, someone will help you out. Local Bat Groups - Bat Conservation Trust
