Daubenton's Bat (Myotis daubentonii)

[fraochydug]

often seen skimming over water.
if you find one of these bats don't pick it up as they are known to carry lyssavirus type-2 (rabies!) which is 100% fatal, though you shouldnt handle bats without training and a license anyhoo

wow - you must have been fast to capture that bat, brilliant .....don't fancy the rabies though

[fraochydug]

you must have been fast to capture that bat

it was a case of randomly shooting in the dark until i was successful, and for this one shot i had about 20 with no bat. it kept coming back for my midgie entourage
