Hi Vladimir,
I will be using the fibrescope during survey work looking for bats in crevices in walls, wood joints in old barns or just about anywhere the little critters can go.
In Europe bats are protected species along with their roosts. As such if you want to convert buildings or carry out work on buildings which may contain bats you have to have a survey done to check if any are present. If they are present then restrictions on the works can be imposed by the planning authorities. It generally works okay, for the bats and the developers.
A colleague of mine bought one from you a couple of weeks ago, I have been a little put off from buying one from overseas because of the cost etc but after seeing and playing with his I knew it was what I wanted. At the moment the Provision is the usual make that is used by the initiated but quite frankly I have used the 30cm and the 91cm models and they are not a patch on yours. The
recommended one for bat survey work is 91cm and 11mm diameter. It is over priced, not as flexible, picture quality not as bright and just awkward to use.
Fibrescopes will be used more and more I anticipate; because of the ease of use and more accuracy of surveys, to that end are you perhaps interested in a UK agent for perhaps selling your fibrescopes? They will always be a small niche market for bat work, but my above mentioned colleague has been using his during some survey work for Great Crested Newts (Another European protected
species) so the more people get used to fibrescopes at reasonable prices the more they will want.
I hope the info is of use to you and I look forward to hearing from in the future.
John Morgan.
