Wooden “Kent” design bat boxes and woodcrete Schwegler bat boxes are attractive to many species of bats – the biggest differences are in the life-span of the boxes and the initial cost. Some species, like Brown Long-eared bats and Noctules are particularly attracted to the Schwegler 2FN which is a cylindrical cavity box – these are often chosen over similar designs of wooden cavity bat box. The larger Schwegler 1FF is favoured by Pipistrelle bats as a maternity roost box. |
