Another wildlife post, two recent finds, first, above, one of the largest spiders we've ever seen before whilst being here, I put a british 50p coin (aprox 15mm wde) next to it to give you an idea of the size, so big was it that when I got a pint glass to catch it, it's legs wouldn't fit inside the rim of the glass. We were wondering as we had some families from South Africa staying with us last week maybe it had hitched a lift over in their luggage!
Below, another first sighting, a sleeping bat has taken to spending it's daytime hours in our big barn, Never having seen a bat so close up before it's amazing how tiny its feet are that clasp to a minute splinter of wood. I'm ok with it sleeping there for now, maybe I'll be more concerned if there is more than one!!
Did the bat stay?
