[Sundae]

I love bats too. I love how to the human eye they just look like a piece of unravelling shammy leather lobbed randomly through the air, but slowed down footage reveals their incredibly precise aeronautical navigation.

Once you've seen a bat flight you can never mistake them for anything else.

We used to live down a road where we had more passing horses than cars. We were across from a gorgeous old vicarage with extensive grounds, and a church complete with graveyard. We'd watch the bats all summer, they came out when the swallows and swifts clocked off. And then we'd have a glass of wine in the cooling summer evening and listen out for owls and foxes. Magical times.
