[ES] La caja refugio para murciélagos que podemos encontrar en el Parque Lago Loranca es de gran tamaño y está fabricada de algún tipo de plástico duro. Su color gris le permite camuflarse con el hormigón del puente bajo el que está colocada.

Revisando todos los laterales del puente solo encontré una, hay, sin embargo, varias cajas nido para vencejos y aviones comunes.

Buscando información encontré que desde 2012 existe un convenio entre el Ayuntamiento de Fuenlabrada y Grefa para la colocación de cajas nido para aves insectívoras y cajas refugio para quirópteros.

Mi agradecimiento a CHuiKi por señalarme esta localización cuando le hablé de esta nueva categoría de WM. Cuando él lo visitó eran 3 o 4 cajas más pequeñas y eran de madera.


[EN] The bat shelter box that we can find in the Lago Loranca Park is large and made of some type of hard plastic. Its gray color allows it to blend in with the concrete of the bridge under which it is placed.

Checking all the sides of the bridge I only found one, however, there are several nest boxes for swifts and house martins.

Searching for information, I found that since 2012 there has been an agreement between the Fuenlabrada City Council and Grefa for the placement of nest boxes for insectivorous birds and shelter boxes for bats.

My thanks to CHuiKi for pointing me to this location when I told him about this new WM category. When he visited there were 3 or 4 smaller bat boxes and they were made of wood.
