A North Yorkshire woman had a fright after finding a tiny bat in her bathroom.

RSPCA inspector Claire Little was called to a home in Catterick Garrison, near Richmond, on the 20th February after a woman found the pipistrelle bat.

The little bat wasn't injured, so Claire found a sheltered spot outside the flat and let him get his bearings before he flew off home.

If you see a bat in need contact the RSPCA’s emergency line on 0300 1234 999.
