Sleeping Beauty ~


1000's of bats frequent the bushland around the lakes..

We heard they had all gone but, found this one still there.
Quite low in the branches for me to capture.
Great capture. Well done.

I hate bats. I had a problem with them getting into my house for a while.

Awesome. When you say all gone, do you mean for the season? Our bats are so much different. They are tiny for one thing and they sleep under overpass and bridges and the best part, they eat their weight in mosquitos every night.

You got a fabulous shot, I find it so amazing the way they just hang there.

I do love bats but when they are congregated in their thousands it gets quite smelly.

fantastic to find this one - their importance simply can't be overstated!

What a great picture, so unusual to see a bat in a photograph like this.

@shutterbug49 They come & go through the year, staying maybe a month. Each lake has it's own bushland. 1 to 2000 of them. The smell & mess is bad. They then seem to move some distance away. We have to drive 10 mins to the lakes so aren't impacted. I was so pleased to get this shot but, hope it makes it back to the rest. Often 1/2 dozen of them linger for some reason!

Nice find. Glad you only captured on camera!

Nice capture!

I was glad to read that they move from place to place. I was concerned that they had disappeared because of man's impact.
