well a picture of a flying bat in near dark is a pretty tall order but there are acouple that fly just in front of my place. A good site for catching insects on the wing, and boy are they good at it.

there used to be two that flew around here at dusk but i havent seen them for a while, never saw them catch anything ~ maybe my eyes arent good enough?? never mind take a photo!!

i had a friend who also used to see a bat in the evenings ~ they called it David ~ after David Batty?? [footballer?] always amused me

Lulu did you see my last but one blogette or do you want me to take some more? or maybe just descend into crazed mubbling and start dribbling ; )

Oh, I forget, you can add pics to old blogs, aha! No mumbling or dribbling neccesary!
I do do the crazed mumbling already..........
