@pdulis@louannwarren@rontu@roachling@kvphoto Thanks for your lovely comments. Now some responses to your uestions/comments - the bats are in our Botanical Gardens (not mine!) and there's probably about 100-150 there. This was was quite low in the tree (they're usually up high) so i could get a good shot with my 300m lens. Thanks.
Definitely not one of my favourite critters. We have to pull out our apricot tree because these darned things chew through netting and eat our whole crop.
