Thread: Seen while strolling...walking and wandering outside

After the wettest April in over 100 years we are seeing a lot of these in the UK. G3 + 14-42

On my daily walk....

Half a mile from where I live is a country park, part of which was a former mental hospital, I don't know what this building used to be but now it is a bat roost. X100

Very eerie, Malcolm. I'm glad to know the bats are safe and sound.

They are so safe that you need a license to go inside, all bats are protected species in the UK.

We love bats in Texas! Several phenomenal colonies of Mexican free-tailed bats are tourist attractions in Austin, Houston and other places.

I have mixed feelings about bats, having been bitten by an injured one I was feeding. It was like several hypodermic syringes going into my finger all at once. Luckily I retained my presence of mind and was able to insert a pencil point between its teeth so it let go of me and bit the pencil instead. Then a course of anti rabies injections for me, oh what fun
