We are not even aware of the variety! But every night they swoop up and down the yard and we love to watch them. We have no idea where on the farm they live - presumably in one of our buildings.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236217526656012168.post-58218130379466191092015-06-10T15:33:52.106-07:002015-06-10T15:33:52.106-07:00Nice photos Simon.Nice photos Simon.Ian Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01407785573213070860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236217526656012168.post-58313450517516465002015-06-10T14:15:38.323-07:002015-06-10T14:15:38.323-07:00I had almost forgotten that some years ago I watch...I had almost forgotten that some years ago I watched bats hunting round my garden every Summer evening. I hunted out my old bat detector tonight and had a quick search. Thought I had found something but it turned out to be ultrasonic sounds made by Penny's claws on the concrete path! Don't know whether the colony died out, were disturbed by all the building work locally or just moved their choice of feeding area. It used be fascinating watching the way they dodged all the aerial wires I used to have then. Also fascinating watching how some moths could detect a bat and suddenly drop a few feet as a bat flashed past them.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236217526656012168.post-79333163432464490612015-06-10T13:59:28.837-07:002015-06-10T13:59:28.837-07:00A little burst of sun and a drop in wind speed - f...A little burst of sun and a drop in wind speed - for a change - brought them out today!
