Texts and Bats

[gness]

In my last garden I had bats galore. I was longing to see some here and late last night I did. Late, but I just had to send a text to my daughter. "BATS! BATS! I have bats. Love BattyMA!xx Then, in my excitement, I sent it to the tiler who had been out to give me a quote.

[Kiki-frog]

Hahaha.... that is hilarious. He probably just thought you were a mad old bat.

[weecalf]

[gness]

Tyler

[gness]

He saw it weecalf......late. His plumber mate told me this a.m. He gave me a wary look. Bought daughter a bat detector for Christmas. She saw bats for the first time on Friday and left her dinner guests to try it out. Batty family I think.

[gness]

Sorry to wake you Tyler.

[tenrec]

Ahh, well, back to the Belfry for me! Have a good day.

Love bats - get the usual small ones in the garden here.

Most amazing though are the Greater Horseshoe bats above Buckfastleigh in Devon - huge things flying up a tree covered track (like a green tunnel) - up close and personal if you don't duck out of the way.

Why mccf? It was that or soap on a rope.
SD. Will tell her. She`s not long moved to Devon.

[mccfluff]

i don't know, i think i am probably imagining something very different from the actual thing

(i have batman stuck to the roof shouting bat alert whenever he sees one)

[rowanwitch]

its a little box that converts bat calls to audible frequencies so you can hear them...

[mccfluff]

thats boring, unless its shouts what the bats are actually saying, then it could be fun :-)

[gness]

Of course it shouts what the bats are saying.

[rowanwitch]

squeak...squeak SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK splat!!! radar not working

We had a Pipistrelle fly in the front room once at dusk. It did some amazing aerobatics around the room before flying straight in to the wall and braking it's neck.

[mccfluff]

snags!!!!

[snags]

What? On examination it was kinda cute, although its head bent at an unnatural angle did spoil the overall image.

[mccfluff]
