I'm not going to give the location for this - it's a rare species and the individual is roosting somewhere that it is susceptible to disturbance and that does not currently appear to be mentioned online so I'd rather not make it googleable, just for safety. It was roosting in a hide, which had a sign saying a bat was roosting from time to time, saying to look if it was there and not to disturb it. It was actually sitting with the head fully visible and this is one of the few British bats that is distinctive enough that that's all you need to ID! It was gently illuminated from a light on another device angled away from it to get this photo (where it was sat was in partial daylight anyway).
