Wow! Is it ok? I mean is that normal for it to be lying on the rocks?
It was actually hanging upside down on a vertical rock face, I was standing beneath it. After the third click of the camera it flew off. I’ve never seen a bat flying in the broad daylight before!
Wow, is that a teeny bat?
It is! So cute, isn’t it?
I thought it was an insect at first lol. That is a really great picture.
Thank you. It is rather teeny isn’t it? Made me realise they’re not so scary after all!
awesome shot
*gasp* oh my gosh, so cute, fantastic picture!
It is super cute, isn’t it? In its little batman outfit
Bat sunbathing?
I know! Very strange.
It is a bat isn’t it? Where did you take the photo, you seem so close to it (or is it the magic of zoom)? Great picture.
I was stood beneath it, only a couple of feet below….plus the wonderful power of zoom…. Thanks for stopping by
don’t see many bats out in the day
It was certainly a first for me.
Ewwww…they used to roost in our chimney when I was kid and i would wake up to them swooping around inside the house…not cool in the 80’s–the time of big, teased hair that a bat could get caught in during one of his acrobatic flights!
LOL. Ewwww indeed!
What an amazing picture, well done you
Thank you Dawn. It was a case of right place, right time.
Wow! How amazing! Great photo!
Thanks Emma
Super pic, they’re not so scary in the daylight!
it’s very very cute.
Oh I want one… ok maybe not… but it looks cute in the picture!
LOL
Good grief! A bat? Hope he found his way home!
wow what a great photo such a little tiny thing!
Is that a bat, great photo
WOW wow wow! Stunning picture.
Thanks so much Jenny. That means a lot coming from such an accomplished photographer as you!
great pic, where is it?
Thank you. I took it here in Asturias, in a limestone valley in the concejo of Teverga. The bat was hanging around (literally!) on the outside of a tunnel, just above a popular walking/cycling path, the Senda del Oso.
What a cute little guy! It’s so odd to see them in broad daylight like that!
Sooo cute….but definitely strange to see it in the day. Maybe it was just some kind of exhibitionist bat?!
