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.

Linking up with the following memes. My thanks to the hosts:

I better tell you that I was not out in the middle of the night shooting bats.I took the original image on the TV set.  And then edited it. I´m not sure what the law has to say about that.
