I like bats when they fly around eating mostquitos but NOT inside.<br />This week we have had visits from 'Mousie" or maybe several of the same --<br />one got in a brown paper bag so could be dumped quite easily.<br />Buster is no help at all!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964291132366262298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-25377438320481774112010-09-25T07:00:17.219-06:002010-09-25T07:00:17.219-06:00I sponsored a little bat for a long time at a bat ...I sponsored a little bat for a long time at a bat rescue establishment in the U.S. Meanwhile I found out we have bats galore here in Australia and many in pest proportions.

I was surprised to see bats in our garden in the summer-I was out there late at night looking for the cat and saw two swooping around. <br />In answer to your question a while ago-I draw over the photos on a separate layer and then remove the photo.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15941415622199071141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-6978430416783412592010-09-20T22:21:31.738-06:002010-09-20T22:21:31.738-06:00I'm glad the bat was safely captured and relea...I'm glad the bat was safely captured and released. Hopefully he'll think twice before exploring the chimney again!<br /><br />I love bats, too. I love watching them fly about in the dusk. A friend of mine was over one night and we were settling in for a bonfire when she spotted something fluttering around in the dusk. She said, "Oh, look! A bird is going crazy flying around and it's nearly dark." I said, "Oh, that's a bat!" I never saw anyone fly out of a chair so fast in my life - lol! We finally convinced her that she was safe from attack. Poor bats get such a bad rap!TALONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03205633556998220372noreply@blogger.com
