An increasing number of bats are taking up residence on the allotments as their usual habitats disappear . they do no harm and just need somewhere to live.

They are a protected species and must not be disturbed.

PLEASE do not kill woodlice. They are being wrongly blamed for eating seedlings but are only attracted to things that are already damaged and are tidying up behind the real culpits whch are most likely slugs. They play an important role in the scheme of things and have been around since the dawn of time, and should be made welcome.
