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.

Just in case you've forgotten,,, Well, I've just found out that this was two days ago, while I visited their colony only yesterday. There is also The (more appropriate I guess) International Bat Night in August.
Anyway, I've chosen one shot (that does not require parental guidance) to mark this occasion.
Grey-headed flying foxes
(Pteropus poliocephalus)
The Bat Falcon is a widespread small falcon of forest and clearings in the Neotropics. It occurs from Mexico south to northwestern Peru and, east of the Andes, northern Argentina. It is dark slate gray above, with an obvious white throat, black-and-white barred breast, and orange lower belly and thighs. Bat Falcons can be distinguished from the similar and sympatric (but much rarer) Orange-breasted Falcon (Falco deiroleucus) by their smaller size, more compact structure, narrower white barring on the lower breast, and more restricted orange on the upper breast. Bat Falcons generally hunt around dawn and dusk at forest edge or over the canopy, often along rivers or road cuts, or at the edges of small crop fields. As the name implies, they feed on bats, but also prey on birds and insects (mostly aerial). They nest in adopted cavities, on cliffs, or on man-made structures and defend their territory aggressively. doi.org/10.2173/bow.batfal1.01

Every evening thousands of bats fly out of Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico's main entrance at or near sunset. One of those amazing wildlife experiences. They continue to exit the cavern for 1 to 2 hours.
Từ ngày không anh, không biết từ bao giờ bầu trời ngoài cửa sổ đã sáng lên sau những giấc mơ cứ ngày thêm ngắn ngủi. Trong đêm vắng không có anh, chỉ còn những cơn gió cũng em phiêu bạt.
Em sợ nỗi nhớ không vượt qua biển cả mênh mông!
One of the most unusual flowers we saw on our recent visit to Kauai. The bat flower (Tacca chantrieri) is native to southeastern Asia, but thrives in Hawaii's tropical climate. It may be grown as a houseplant in colder climates.
Thanks for stopping by!

With recent rumours about the future fete of this beautiful 747-SP this photo shows 'BAT' just moments before a big rainstorm taxing back to its hangar after arriving late one Sunday afternoon. Photo taken at Bournemouth Hurn International Airport (BOH/EGHH) on the 15th February 2015.
Sorry if I'm a bit behind in commenting for the next few weeks but baby bat season has now started 😊
These two plus the other three that decided the roost was too hot and needed some fresh air were all safely returned to their mothers.We stayed and monitored the roost until the day had cooled down and had no more fell out.Had no more calls so hopefully now the temperature is lower they will stay away from the entrance 😉
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. :-)

She flutters her lashes, slow and sly,
a teasing spark in her bright young eye.
A mischievous smile she doesn’t quite hide,
like she knows the effect
and enjoys the ride 😉

This may not exactly be what you were expecting, yet
it is an interpretation...

Pipistrello_Il Cerimoniere Iniziatico
"Quando un Pipistrello vola nella nostra notte interiore ... siamo chiamati a calarci all'interno dei nostri timori per esaminarli da vicino. Grazie al capovolgimento del nostro punto di vista a questa nuova prospettiva, nascerà in noi la fiducia nelle nostre capacità. Il Pipistrello ci parla di una prova iniziatica: l'attraversamento della Notte Buia dell'Anima, come la chiama Coehlo."
Pipistrello_The Initiatory Ceremonial Master
"When a Bat flies into our inner night... we are called to descend inside our fears to examine them closely. Thanks to the reversal of our point of view to this new perspective, confidence in our abilities will be born in us. The Bat tells us about an initiatory test: the crossing of the Dark Night of the Soul, as Coehlo calls it."
