It's probably fair to say bats haven't enjoyed the best of publicity of late, what with being blamed by many (unfairly) for spawning the Covid-19 pandemic - and this month is of course that rather grim two-year anniversary. I have to confess to not being much of a chiropterologist (bat expert apparently, thank you Google). My 'expertise' stretches as far as simply enjoying when on long summer nights (at least in our garden) day slips into dusk and, quite suddenly, it is no longer small birds swooping above but bats that start dipping, darting and zipping overhead.
