Short ramble through the woodland with Bat Detector III

SHORT RAMBLE THROUGH THE WOODLAND WITH BAT DETECTOR III
Following our trip to Mallydams last week they were kind enough to lend us a bat detector an early Bat Detector III . We went out just after it got dark to do a walk through . At first there was not a lot to hear until we spotted a young badger before coming out of the woodland to go past the church and back in through the top. As we went past the church we had chirps at around 42-50 . These disappeared until we was halfway down the steps and then came back. We could hear an OWL hooting and sadly the units batteries died. We think this could be either Serotine or Pipistrelle. More investigation will be needed to confirm.  The trip also was interesting as lots of animals  such as badgers where seen and owls hooting all in the woodland.
