Okay, so I understand that not everyone will appreciate my excitement at finally capturing a few of my batty friends on video. I admit the quality is not great and as yet David Attenborough has nothing to worry about but you would have to know that one of these guys nearly clipped me on the head one dark morning.

Ever since, I have tried to catch a glimpse of one of the bats.  I hear them nearly every morning but its always dark and they fly past so quickly it is hard to get a good look. Describing the feeling of some substantial creature whizzing past my ear at six o’clock in the morning tends to have people nod wide-eyed and inch away but it is when I get into imitating the noise that they actually reach for the strait-jacket.

Now, after weeks of laying in wait, I have proof. Ha ha!  ( Well, you try laying in wait for wildlife with a 55 kilo Presa Canario and a Boxer with a hip impediment!. David Attenborough has it easy!)
