jukel123 8,056 Posted September 11, 2024 Report Share Posted September 11, 2024 I'm sure I've seen less swallow and less bats this year. Swallows seem to stay longer as well. I've seen swallows well onto October, whereas years back they were gone in September. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of bats here but I live on water and there is an old pill box across from me were they roost, think the weather has a big bearing on things to much rain means insects not out so bats not out, also been a bad year for owls due to the non stop rain through spring affecting there hunting which knocks on to breeding, I,ve noticed more of these little things since living on the boat than I ever did in a house even though I was out as much as possible 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
