BAT'S LAIR ( P 1 X A 3 ) SWEEPER IN OPERATION
View allAll Photos Tagged Bat
I joined Chris Dodds and some other great photographers at the Pond at Elephant Head to shoot some bats this past September. It's quite an experience. Despite technical difficulties that seemed to plague me, I still came away with some pictures I'm proud of. This bat was captured by setting your camera to take a picture every 10 seconds. A beam is set up across a small (read small "very" small") pond which triggers the flash as a bat crosses the beam. You end up with a lot of black images and some wonderful keepers. I'll post an example of the other set up which uses a flower the bats love and triggers for both camera and flash.

Nothing is what it seems in China..... The Bat is a shadow,of course. Chinese scientists claim that corona is coming from wild Bats.

situé dans le massif forestier de Saint-Gobain, cet ensemble de bâtiments dépendait de l’abbaye bénédictine de Saint-Nicolas-aux-Bois, à proximité. Connu sous le nom du Tortoir – toponymie liée probablement à l’existence d’un ancien pressoir ou plus vraisemblablement d’un moulin à foulon, ce domaine ecclésiastique, donné en 1130 par le chapitre cathédral de Laon à l’abbaye, avait une vocation agricole et forestière et n’était ni une maladrerie ni un manoir abbatial. Un logis et des dépendances agricoles sont attestés au XIIIe siècle. Le domaine affermé depuis au moins 1604, en mauvais état, fait l’objet de gros travaux en 1660. Vendu à la Révolution, il reste dans la même famille jusqu’en 1883. Classé parmi les Monuments historiques en 1912, il est racheté en 1925 pour servir de domaine d’expérimentation agricole avant d’être restauré par l’architecte Jean Trouvelot.
Jadis clos de murs et formant un quadrilatère, il est aujourd’hui réduit à un complexe de bâtiments qui occupent deux côtés en retour d’équerre et se composent d’une part d’un logis et d’une chapelle et d’autre part d’un grand bâtiment dont l’affectation primitive est indéterminée, mais supposée avoir été un réfectoire et dortoir des hôtes ou encore un cellier avec dortoir au-dessus. Cette aile est rythmée sur sa façade sud par huit grandes baies répétées sur les deux niveaux. Si les baies de l’étage sont courantes au XIIIe siècle, celles du rez-de-chaussée à réseau polylobé sont d’un modèle rare, plus civil que religieux. Chaque angle de ce bâtiment repose sur une tourelle assise sur des trompes, signe plus d’apparat que de défense ; une cheminée monumentale est encore visible sur chacun des pignons ; l’élévation nord a été très remaniée. La chapelle et le logis de dimensions plus modestes offrent encore un décor intérieur raffiné : culots à tête humaine sur la cheminée et aux abouts des poutres de la charpente.
La datation proposée pour cet ensemble est du début du XIVe siècle .

The canyon bat (Parastrellus hesperus), also known as the western pipistrelle, is the smallest bat species in the United States. Commonly found in Arizona, these bats inhabit arid regions, including deserts, canyons, rocky areas, and my backyard.

This "beautiful" creature was photographed at The Pond at Elephant Head last year. The way it's done is to set up flashes aimed where the bat is hoped to come in for a drink. the pond itself is tiny, making the target reasonably small. The camera is set to take repeated photographs until the battery runs out and the flashes are set off by a motion trigger. This allows the photographers to enjoy a nice glass of wine or beer and swap stories watching the flashes go off a short distance away. Now that's photography at its best!
In the Intro to this cave mini-series, "dusk bat hunters" were mentioned [see "Deer Cave Entry ~ Kick-off Cave Series, Sarawak, Borneo"]
As such, on fine-weather dusks, some 2M+ bats fly out of Deer Cave, searching for insects to eat. The free-tailed bats are hard to see while inside the caves, as they mostly hang from the cave ceilings, sleeping, and are quite small.
The Left Hand Picture in the collage above shows a large stream of bats exiting at late dusk when ii is almost dark, at the end of our first day at the caves. Thus the photo is dark.
The Right Hand Picture shows the exit route for the main bat stream, as taken during the day: i.e. Deer Cave's Main Chamber ceiling hole, with the chamber 122m or 400 feet high from the cave floor. The hole, in also letting in a shaft of light, allows the rich green vegetation to thrive, and is thus referred to as the 'Garden of Eden' by the cave operators.
Other bats exit via a few other smaller ceiling holes depending on where they sleep.
From the only viewing platform outside, which is on flat ground, we saw the main bat stream featured above. Further away, other bat streams flew out of other openings not visible, with the bats very hard to see as they flew out and away.
The picture featured was then the best achievable one given the hilly and dense jungle terrain surrounding the caves.
The scene was amazing to see, and everyone at the viewing platform was excited and loved this unusual nature adventure :-)
This concludes the Cave Series, Hope you enjoyed it. :-)

The "bats" or grey-headed flying foxes of Wollongong.
Every night there is a river of flying foxes leaving their roosting trees setting off to forage for food. Quite often we hear one in our back yard. Their favourite trees to roost in are casuarinas. This location is about 1 km (as the bat flies) from our house.
Bat's Head is a chalk headland on the Dorset coast in southern England, located between Swyre Head and Durdle Door to the east, and Chaldon Hill and White Nothe to the west.
There is a small but very visible cave at the base of the headland known as Bat's Cave. A spectacular path, part of the South West Coast Path, runs along the coast through rolling green downland countryside to the north of Bat's Head.

Almost at the end of my walk up and down the reservoir, I looked up into the tall pines, always checking for Crossbills, when this appeared and somehow, with the Sigma, I managed to catch it :)
