As I drove up my road this evening after work I could see a bat flying around near the street light – they are not very common here. Parked up the car and saw it a second time briefly. I didn't see it long enough to decide what size it was or any more detail. It was particularly interesting, as a few people reported bats this evening around Shetland including one seen on Foula.
