Good people of the fediverse I have a question about bats and swallows.
We're building a carport. One end will be attached to a wall. The other end will rest on 6 brick pillars of about 3 meters high.
I have 2 nest boxes for barn swallows and 2 bat boxes.
I'd like to attach those to the pillars.
Now my questions:
1) Is it ok to put both up in the same area?
2) What would be the best side of the pillars to hang them from: facing in, out or sideways?
Thank you for your advice!
