I love seeing pictures of Bats so you keep finding them Tony ;) This is a stunning aerial shot guy.
 
An amazing shot Tony, never heard of this bat before, all I see is the wee ones buzzing around in the grey light, Tfs.!

I am glad you got a name on it Tony. Another brilliant flight shot. I still can't image a flying bat is easy (lol). Fantastic work and thanks for the update!!!!
