I have just got back from watching some bats on the river Teign. All of the calls are Pipistrelle(common) but there were Soprano pips further on up the river.
If you look carefully at about 9 seconds in, you can see a shadow of a bat flying past.
The sound is from a hand held bat detector.

WOW what a little cracker. In the summer when not looking for birds, I love watching Butterflies and how about this one. It's a Green Hairstreak and is hard to see cos of it's colour, green! This one is at the warren and on the wing on sunny days like today.
