Here are a couple of novel uses for old boats !  
It doesn't do to let your OH get near any of your boats, she's even got designs on the boat in the background on the top photo ! |

There used to be a couple of nice boat/planters on traffic roundabouts near Abbingdon?

The boat in the bottomphotograph is a full grown wildlife pond. The boat with the flowers in it was the swimming pool for our ducks up untill a few months ago ! |

Nightshade we are lucky in as much as we get loads of bats most evenings. I'm not sure where they roost .
I havent been able to get a close look but we have at least two types . I'm not an expert but we have both 'biggens and littlens.
I've got a bat box to put up but I'm not sure where to locate it . |

Hi Bodger,contact your local bat group,someone will pop around and give you an id (better still join it borrow a detector),you should have some very special bats out your way and if they are roosting nearby or even in your house or outbuildings I will be green with envy
put any thread about bats in the mammal forum

Just prop your boat up nice and firmly and you are away. It works out far more cheaply than a bought ready made pond ! | | |
