Lesser Horseshoe Bats, in the barn not the belfry.
We are lucky to have a colony of Lesser Horseshoe Bats in one of our stone barns. Local bat experts from French equivalent of our UK Wildlife Trusts (Conservatoire Régional des Espaces Naturels de Midi-Pyrénées) keep an eye on them & advise us. They assured me that the bats are not distressed by flash photography as the duration of the flash is a tiny fraction of a second. So of course I had to take some photos.
Look in Wild photos to see these fascinating bats.
