🦇 What is a roost? Here are some bat roost facts:
🪹 Bats do not make nests, but choose various places throughout the year to shelter, live and sleep in.
🦇 Where bats choose to roost varies between species and the time of the year.

Fascinated that In Our Time is one of the BBC’s most popular podcasts among under 35s. The young people demand three academics and a peer discussing Demosthenes, apparently. And they’re right to do so.
