We've also had a frog, a cat, a squirrel, a pigeon and numerous spiders.

Given that bats are protected by law I informed our supervisor - who quite approved of the bat's visit (not that any of us could do anything about it even were we so inclined, of course, see note about protection) because "they eat all those bloody moths flitting about when I'm trying to get work done!"

No idea which of our 18 native species it was, but it rather made my night seeing it!

If i sit in the garden in the evening i usually see bats zoom over head.
