Elusive bat

Yesterday, it was the full moon. The evening fell down fairly late too and the skies were mostly clear, so it was light enough in a garden. Looking for the moon, I saw a bat flying in the back garden. My first bat of the year I think. Full moons are good for bats spotting. That said, so far I have been unable to take a picture of a bat here. Bats just fly wildly, they are swift, small, just specks of shadows that sometimes squeak. I like them quite a lot.

  1. We used to have a few of them at our last apartment, i'm hoping to see some here as well!

  2. Used to see them quite a bit when I lived in Austin. They'd take to the skies at dusk from under the bridge!

  3. @Cynthia-I'm gonna miss the bats one day.
    @The Gill-Man-The Atheist Community of Austin do make special bat cruises sometimes. I have been wanting to attend to one since I know about them.

  4. We see them flying over our roof from time to time.

    Don't eat enough mosquitoes for my tastes.

  5. @Mantan-That's one aspect of bats I love: they eat mosquitoes.
