Have today taken delivery of The Bat Detective - a field guide for bat detection by Brian Briggs and David King. An excellent book describing how to get the best from your bat detector. It comes bundled with a CD of 48 tracks covering 13 bat species.

With thanks to the pair of you :D
Can definitely say a Pipistrelle was chasing around my flat tonight
That's three floors up in Wilson Close - right in the polluted heart of Scunthorpe
Hopefully it caught some of those yellow underwings that live here with me

Daubentons also call at between 45-50.

Since taking bat detecting up i've only picked up 5 different speies, all the most common ones... Both types of Pips, Daubentons, Brown Long Eared and Noctules :)
