bats

Hi all,just looked out of the study window to see a bat flyig around its quite small,been doing this for at least an hour,how unusual is that?

 

obviously lots of yummy bugs there!!!!

 

We have a streetlight at the end of our garden and most nights in the summer there is a bat flying around the light - probably a bit like a drive-in for him!

He's been there for years now - the bugs must still be in plentiful supply! :D

 

Occasionally see one myself around here, but its getting less common.
Its amazing how they fly silently.

 

we have a bat hibernacle near us..................
good word or not "hibernacle" !!!

anyway Martin found a dead one in the garden yesterday - oh and long long story of how they have taken over and nearly destroyed our local church.

 

I just adore bats. They are beautifull creatures and always bring back happy childhood memories of Aunty and Uncle's farm.

I've never been able to photograph one in flight though :D

 

The point l was making guys is that its was flying around in daylight, in fact as l speak its out there now time 4 30 pm

 

Hi, Macleaf. Here's something for you to read ...

An interesting site!

We have bats here and I love them. I have planted in several places Cobea (cup and saucer vine) and supposedly it gets pollinated by bats so I'm waiting ....

There's a bat sanctuary on the IoW near where our place is, which I think is great!

 

We have had Pipistrelles here now and then but not regularly, never seen any other species. :(

 

Sorry macleaf, it is strange.
