The weather tried to stop the construction team replacing the roof in the Saint Peter and Paul Greek Catholic Church several times. And the work was not easy by itself, in the project history, it was the biggest and most complicated roof to be replaced. Complicated shape, with several turrets and tower helmets, characteristic for the tserkov architecture, required extraordinary craftsmanship and patience.
Eventually, the roof cover was replaced with the new, copper coat, and the Lesser horseshoe and Greater Mouse-eared bats got the space for raising their offspring. In the coming seasons, the project team will take care for the inside of the attic, where the bats stay. Several habitat improvements and adaptations reducing the disadvantages of having the bats under the roof, will be implemented. The Greater mouse-eared bats in particular when concentrate in large groups in a palace of their choice, cause concentration of heaps of guano, which has not enough time to dry, and may be detrimental to the substance of the building. The solution lies in the special platforms, easing up removing the guano from the attic. By the way, the bat guano is a very good and strong fertilizer, which may be spread over the garden or added to the flower pots.
