Wildlife special #2.


On seeing the feces we looked up and between the door frame and the house we saw .... a cricket? a woodworm? a glis-glis?! I wish! We saw faces looking down at us, little cute, intelligent faces, small furry inquisitive faces, and we heard a small chattering... We saw BATS!!! I grabbed a camera and witha zoom and a flash took a snap of them, we could see about 8! They were not pleased with a disturbance, they squeaked and chirped in a protesting way. So my lovely dear husband did one better, he grabbed a camcoder and took a tiny film of them. Then he went in, got dressed in a way to protect himself from mosquitoes, and made himself comfortable in a chair right by the front door... Patience is a virtue, patience is a virtue, patience is a virtue.... I checked on him a few times... nothing... But! It got darker outside, we forgot of him stationed out there, I was wondering if he fell asleep or was just enjoying the silence after our usually noisy household. Suddenly the door burst open and in he ran wild and disshevelled with joy and excitement, he saw them all fly out! Woopee! We counted eleven. Today with a shining of a torch he said there are at least 14... Amazing. We have bats! Now where are we? On the pets' front? I think we are Ok! Don't you? Will that do for a future WWF panda warrior? It will for now I am sure.
This is the film of them flying out come evening time. Dinner, guys! Enjoy!
