Well duh :D I know that but what sort of specifications - Size, depth, recommended height of "installation".

 

please forgive me, i was only trying to help:bawling:

 

In my experience the spec for the hight at which i have installed bat boxes has had more to do with the length of the monitoring groups ladder than any thing else:alberteinstein:

Suppose its like a man-made cavity? Is that not detrimental to a healthy tree with that kind of wound?

 

Im not picking, not at all, just very interested. Like is it not possible to do that to a dead part of a tree, such as stag horns in the crown of an old oak?

 

The Tree was a DEAD Beech which we have left as a retained Monolith.

 

The Cavity is made by boring out a wedge, cutting off up to a third away at the the back, re inserting the wedge and held in place with a tie strap.

To be honest fellas, this does not have to be bat specific, but we have evidence to suggest these have been used.

Second shot is same tree 4 years later.

Ok, i`m playing catchup, i didnt pay enough attention to see the bark blowing off the stem of the beech!

 

Looks very interesting work you get involved in and the work that goes in creating a habitat such as that beech is not easy.

 

Sorry for my silly questions, but i was just curious to know more!

 

I find it a very interesting subject that i have never been involved in, cheers.
