Why?

Why is it the best job in the world?

But when you're going to a water treatment plant, are you generally sent because they know there's bats there and they want you to carry out a survey?

Or are you looking for bats?

Yeah.

So you're going to intentionally have bats living within the walls of the house?

You know, it's like... Other people don't be trying to get them out of the house.

I say this having had to deal with this before, but I'm not going to tell you what I did until you tell me whether it was the right thing or not.

I caught it with a tea towel like a kind of gently like it was in behind a bookcase so we pulled it out and it was just clinging onto the wall and we just very very gently put the tea towel around it and then brought it outside and I can't remember where we put it it didn't fly away I think we put it down on something and we just left it and then it was gone so I assume it flew away a rat or a cat could have eaten it God knows but anyway we put it back out in the great outdoors and nature took its course from there we'll put it that way

Were you afraid, Donna, I was going to say that I bit its head off or something like Ozzy Osbourne?

Did you always love bats?

Yeah.

Yeah.

So this is bats because we, again, we do do bats kind of around the house and it's dusk is when we'd notice the most.

Like what times, usually it's a busy time of year.

So what times of the day and times a year?

Are busy.

I was going to ask maybe about, you know, other animals you're interested in, but stay on the line, Donna, because Anne is after getting in touch.

Anne, I know you were listening to Donna and you have some connection to this bat surveying world.
