Found at my brother's work. It had probaby got trapped indoors, unable to feed. A sorry end but fascinating to see close up and marvel at its superb adaptation to nocturnal, insectivorous flight.

I spent some of this weekend finishing the steps I started last weekend. The design is typical of the conservation projects I worked on while completing my FdSc in Wildlife and Countryside conservation a couple of years ago.
