Had a bat excursion with daughter in the woods tonight. Guides had bat detectors and infrared cameras. We saw/heard 5 different species!

Serotine - Eptesicus serotinus - heard
Daubenton's Bat - Myotis dauber - seen
Common Pipistrelle - Pipistrellus - seen
Nathusius's Pipistrelle - Pipistrel - heard
Noctule - Nyctalus noctula - seen

Till this evening I only knew (and saw) one species.

For #BatAppreciationDay, this is a WWII-era photo of American Marines holding a very large bat, aka "a flying fox." [Photo credit: Barbara Giguere on Facebook.]

Black-and-white photo of two men in World War II-era casual military clothing, standing side by side. Together, they are holding an extremely large bat in front of them, with its wings spread wide. The bat's body is resting slightly lower than the wingtips, which extend out past the sides of both men. Its wingspan is probably several feet across. The bat's body/torso is approximately the size of a large cat. [Photo source: Barbara Giguere on Facebook.]

Barefoot blond woman in cutoffs and a t-shirt dances with a flying fox bat, holding it by the feet as it flaps it's meter long wings.

OK a couple of pics from today. Sidney Crosby’s copper eyes (not that they look copper here), and his cat lips; and the wee bat that was having a snoozle under our eave by the front door.

🦇 Is there a #bat mastodon? (#batstodon?) We have a little bat flying around our house in broad daylight, looking a bit erratic. We think maybe it was sleeping behind roof tiles that got heated by the morning sun and woke it up. Is that possible? What else could cause a bat to wake up during the day?

Is it possible that I had a collision with a bat on my cycle ride home tonight? It was night time and I felt something something light crashing against my scarf. I fleetingly saw what, at first sight, looked like a large black butterfly. Then I realised that a) there are no such butterflies round here and b) one wouldn’t feel the impact of a butterfly flying into you! Which brought me onto the idea that maybe I just had a collision with a small bat. But how likely is that?!? #Cycling #batstodon

Watching the fruit bats zigzag through the figtrees as the moon rises. They are in a frenzy, gorging themselves on bait-balls of sugar-drunk fruitflies.

I took this in slow motion, but even with that, they flicker and strobe past.

The bat is alive, but not very happy. I think I might have hit it with an empty bottle of Actimel when I threw it in the bin earlier. I only noticed when I heard it moving. Have now moved the bin out into the barn where it's darker.

My bat house sits empty; but my husband accidentally woke up this little brown bat when he opened up his storage connex. It was scrunched up between the insulation layer and the metal cladding. It safely moved on. #batstodon #alaska #bats

Lunch time for bats, as well!

I love this damned team so much. :phillies: ⚾

In Frankfurt, I'd see 'em "all the time." One of my favorite chill spots was a bench at a "bat habitat," with a bunch of bat houses. Like a birdhouse, but for bats.

😜 I hung out there often.

Here, not so much. They're around, but not in numbers like Frankfurt.

To make up for it we have lots of ground based rodentia, as witnessed by the plethora of dead (and alive) rodents Harley drops at my feet to play Kitty Fetch with...

Scottish bats. Their struggle is real.

A Scottish bat flies in for a landing, while another already sleeps, kilt over head, his junk on display.

This is very clever! #batstodon

So, came out to the lake after being away for a week and found this squatter sleeping in my living room.
Not sure how to deal with a bat. I'd hate to toss him out in the cold... its only about 2 C.

Any suggestions?
