For the first time ever I had a close encounter with a bat in Sweden. A little research told me we have 19 species of them and I think this one is a juvenile Daubenton's bat / vattenfladdermus. It flies mostly over water to catch it´s prey. And I found it at the birding tower at Lake Näsnaren. Seemingly learning how to fly. It did not seem good at it.

ReplyDeletefurry little beasty. good insect eater.
ReplyDeleteHello!:) A cute furry little fellow indeed. We had a bat inside our house a few nights ago, flew around for a while hung upside down from the rafters but wouldn't fly outside. It was late, so we left It,... eventually he few outside early morning. It was a nice encounter, as I'm sure yours was.
ReplyDeleteHi is a cute little guy. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteTerrific photos of the bat. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun encounter! Glad your camera was ready!
ReplyDeleteThey are good to have around to eat the mosquitos. Great photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteWow! Congrats on getting such wonderful photos of the bat!
ReplyDeleteugly creatures, yet a boon for us
ReplyDeletethat is a capture!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy we have bats, they really keep insects under control but I'm really not wanting to be anywhere close to them. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteOh so creepy. Perfect for the shadows. Thumbs up! Your brave.
ReplyDeleteJust great for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteWe have bats that live under our roof every summer. They are little brown bats I think, but they don't come out for a photo. One does live under the aluminum roof on our propane shed. I can see him way in the back, but he's tricky to get a picture of. - Margy
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little thing! :-)
