All 17 bat species are protected by law. Here is a great little article I found:

We haven\'t seen any bats in our woodland, have you?

As Toby mentioned in the last article about restoring pollards, we need to do bat surveys before we do work on old trees.

You can read a bit here:

I have a few hundred copies to give out soon, will let you know when they are available - as well as information from the bat group!

I have read previous reports of Tits being predated by Greater Spotted woodpecker.

Yes its dog eat dog out there ! or rather bird eat bird.
