A colony of bats (probably Pipistrelles) vacated a maternity roost in my house during the heatwave of July 2022. Within 72hrs, with exceptionally high temperatures, it appears that the roost under a slate roof became too hot for them. The CCTV camera captured a number of adult bats leaving, some with young "on board". The roost was active again this summer (2023).
If you are good at bat identification, please leave a comment as to what species you think it is.
