More cave condition monitoring. This time its a slightly more remote cave, so fortunately a lot less rubbish.
It's a long cave with narrow low corridors.
Rhinolophus hipposoderos and other Rhinolophus sp
shortened & sped up.

Into the belly of the beast.
A local cave was used as a cheese storage/ maturing area.
What an amazing #cave with #bats. Part of ongoing cave condition monitoring. Path to the hibernation roost was flooded.

Fresh snowy landscape, excellent for tracking and revealing the many mammals that utilise the area. #snow #tracks #devetakiplateau

I think I only had 1 snowy Xmas as a kid & that was in Germany. Bulgaria is 1:2.
Last year I had Xmas Dinner outside and went to see Podarcis muralis

The #Europeanjackal is a regular visitor.

If this #europeanjackal was found in my kitchen drawer this morning instead of the black rat, I'd be quite ok with that!

Elated at catching 2 young black rats,I went to the drawer to grab a cloth only to see a black rat sat amongst cleaning gear.
I like wildlife but

Cold days, warm days.
Woodpeckers are very active

I love the fact I see Ravens most days. Red squirrels are active.
A local walnut tree was worth investigating, #bats ?
