Little Barrow Farm
Whitcher Wildlife Ltd carried out a bat surveys of a series of farm buildings in Gloucestershire as part of a planning application to develop the site.
The initial daytime survey identified bat roosting potential in four of the seven buildings with small concentrations of droppings in one of the buildings implying the presence of a roost. Additional dusk emergence and dawn swarming bat surveys identified bat roosts in two of the buildings, Lesser Horseshoe and Brown Long Eared bats in one of the barns and Common Pipistrelle in the farmhouse.
In addition large numbers of barn owl pellets and occasional barn owl activity were identified in one of the buildings and several active swallow nests were identified.
Surveys works are complete and work is being carried out to design mitigation into the proposed development prior to the final application for planning permission being submitted.
