We’ve been discussing a much-needed bat flight and am now feeling a bit like this..YIKES… lol! Brian has been researching the least expensive materials and doing the sums: £400-£500 for a 12 x 8ft flight, or £330 for a 10 x 6ft. Yikes again!
Thankfully we have mesh remaining from when we extended our very first bat flight, but sadly we have now gone way over budget…. and all bits are absolutely necessary. Brian has completed two frames and the laths have also arrived today.
