Completed my Daubenton's Bat survey along the Grand Union Canal for another year. Recorded exactly 100 fly pasts of this charismatic little mammal this year which is significantly up on the last two years.. Either my new Bat Detector is a big improvement on the old Bat Box III, or I was very unlucky in the previous two years.

Also detected a couple of Noctules passing overhead, and the odd Natterer in close proximity to me.. all serving as distractions from the survey!
