Bat

Post by Richard »

I was sitting in the Living Room and saw the bats whizzing around outside as they do most evening, so thought I'd try and get a photo.

I took about 20 shots. After 15 showing the odd black blur I got this one.

Wonderful creatures aren't they

They are fabulous! We have loads flying around outside our living room window on an evening - hubby was amazed as he had never seen them in the flesh.

When I lived in France I got in late one night (or maybe early one morning!) and there was a little bat hanging onto the artexed wall above my bed, snoozing away! It was great to see one so close up - gorgeous little creatures )t'

Nice piccie, Richard. Not very often you can capture a bat flying.

We have lots of bats round here. We found a baby bat on the barn fllor in one of the stables, so carefully picked it up and put it in a box. We have a local bat person, so rang him and he said it was a long eared baby, took it away but unfortunately it died.
