The bat box was placed high in a tree near the main house and the barn was tidied up. I think it may be a couple of years before bats starting roosting up there but Clive is more optimistic and I hope he's right.

The garden needs a lot more work but we made progress and hopefully it will eventually be restored to its former glory.

I didn't get a photo but as he stopped on the track as I approached him in the Mule he looked just like this one. We looked at each other for a few seconds and then he passed on his way into the trees.

Isn't wildlife wonderful?

We barely had time to get cleaned up before we went out for dinner at a delightful place called Gardenia's.
