It's been a pretty good season photographing Bats including a few new species. This is probably the most common one that we find.

Another amazing photo, Charlie. Not much I can add as a nit. But I sure enjoy your work with bats. I hardly see bats anymore so I'm happy to know you have a good bunch down there. I hope you'll post some more as I really find them to be really unique.

Super image. Love the reflection and the fine detail in the wing membranes.

Nice to see it's bat time again for you Charlie. Like the open mouth and flying water. I really have to try this type of photography one day. Looks like fun.

This is an awesome stop action photo Charlie :eek: I like the splashing water, but the ghostly reflection of the bat puts this one over the top for me.

A bit late viewing this, but it's another winner in my book!
