Hi,
Well Danny up in the north of the county has been busy checking the kent bat box design against other designs. the picture right shows four pip's using one of the boxes.
He has also been using a design from the vincent trust and this was occupied within 18 days!!
There is one problem with wooden boxes though, woodpeckers!! they love to hammer them.
Danny's solution is to put a thin piece of metal over 
the hole to protect it, anything thats laying around can be used, in this case a old sign, for now this is protecting the box.
Danny has had some good results with the boxes and is constantly looking for new designs to try, I have come up with a design, that once I have made a few hope to test with Danny's help. Hopefully it will be successful and we can give out the instructions for making them.
