Congress Bridge Bats in Austin, TX
The Congress Avenue bridge spans Lady Bird Lake in downtown Austin and is home to the largest urban bat colony in North America. The colony is estimated at 1.5 million Mexican free-tail bats. Each night from mid-March to November, the Congress Bridge Bats bats emerge from under the bridge to blanket the sky as they head out to forage for food. This event has become one of the most spectacular and unusual tourist attractions in Texas. The most spectacular bat flights are during hot, dry August nights, when multiple columns of bats emerge.

Not exactly sure what species, there are several, and we saw a few different ones, regardless, we had fun. This was a bit more technical (took several lights, etc.) than point and click, but was really fun to see how many bats are really out there....we saw dozens and dozens once they came to feed.

The Fruit Bats are now sleeping near the K Road Cliffs, having been moved on from near the Werribee Mansion.
Os morcegos brancos hondurenhos vivem em pequenos grupos escondidos debaixo de grandes folhas de helicónia, as quais costumam dobrar em forma de tenda para se protegerem da chuva e dos predadores.
O pequeno grupo da imagem foi encontrado numa enorme folha a cerca de um metro do solo no interior da densa floresta húmida de Braulio Carrillo .

This group was found on a huge leaf about one meter from the ground.

This is a Fruit bat. Really large in comparison to the bats I've seen around.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Taken on a trip to a local zoo - fruit bats in almost complete darkness at ISO 6400. Had to use manual focus and I'm not so good at that usually so quite pleased with the result.
Danby Cricket Club has a rack of old cricket bats used by their players down the years. A couple of these bats appear to date from the '60's.
