Tonight…I tried to see the eclipse… however, a colony of bats are living behind the bedroom shutters… and they were directly in the corner of my line of sight as I searched the skies/horizon…
I was torn between peering resolutely into the beyond… and getting out of their way as they prepared to zip off out for their supper…
OH used his endoscope to try and identify the variety…certainly, we have several pipistrelles and also three much larger bats… couldn’t identify them and was loath to upset them… they were quite obviously titivating themselves ready for a night out with their pals…
So, on the one hand I am sorry not to have watched the eclipse Live…but I feel quite privileged to have been a “fly on the wall” so to speak… while these amazing creatures got themselves into their routine (they almost seemed to be doing exercises) .
