Bats found lying on the ground and being mobbed by birds flying in daylight could be linked to extreme hunger, an expert has said.

Anne Youngman, the Bat Conservation Trust's Scottish officer, said the handful of incidents may be related to last year's poor summer and autumn.

She said it was too early to tell if the problem was more widespread.

An interesting story from BBC.
