A great choice for bat house builders
This is a first-rate book, giving a detailed and well-researched insight into the needs of roosting bats. Although based on experiences in the USA, the concepts and advice are also relevant to European bat box construction. Well worth reading.

Fantastic! A must-have for batty folks!
It is good to know that there is a resource that lets serious conservationists (Professional and the back-yard watchers) know how to make bat boxes the right way. There are so many incorrectly made and wrongly placed bat-boxes out there. I have noticed that most people are generally receptive to the idea of attracting bats, once educated, but soon they will get easily discouraged or even worse, passive, if their bat house is a failure. This book shows folks how to do it the right way..and there IS a right way! If you really want to know how to help bats, READ and DO what this book advises!

Excellent and easy to read.
I am new to bat house building. This book is a must for everyone like me or those who are currently having problems with their bat houses. The book is clearly written, so it is easy to follow.
