great sky. Ever thought of using a tele ?

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to FarbFormFreude ^club

I have a variety of lenses for my Pentax ME SLR which I haven't used since about 1987! One reason is that I used to rock climb and a heavy camera and lenses would just get damaged so I lost the habit. It is at my parents home in Cornwall and I live in Madrid.
All I have here now is my mobile phone for photos. Not ideal but the quality of shot is a lot better than it used to be.

I think I see three bats, Andy. I've never tried photographing them myself. It's a beautiful evening sky regardless of the bats.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Ronald Losure ^club

Thank you, Ronald! There were about half a dozen in the air at any one time but here, I can only see one! Your eyesight is obviously better than mine!

What a fantastic photo - I just love the view and to take this at that time of day to catch the pipistrelle bats - what a great idea. When I'm in Turkey, you can just see the speed of them in the sky - unbelievable.

I've tried a few times to photo them but it's nigh on impossible! I was lucky to get even this blurry image!

Good to know that the bats eat the mosquitoes and are not of the vampire kind!

Marije Aguillo ^club has replied to ֎ — Jean Nymer ^club

Recuerdo, hace muchos años, que estuvimos en Torrevieja y allí había muchos murciélagos que salían por las noches y se daban banquetes con los mosquitos, aún así las salinas producían suficientes como para que aún pudieran martirizarnos todas las noches.

A lovely sunset scene, Andy. Yes, I fully appreciate how difficult it is to capture images of bats as the light dims.

2 years ago.

Ecobird ^club

A glorious sunset sky and that is without the addition of this little bat Andy. I love watching them but as you say they are difficult to dcapture as they are so fast. We used to watch them from my dad's flat swooping around and around in the half light. Fascinating. My daughter rescued one from her cat and it was flying around her house. Fortunately she caught it and soothed it putting it in a box until it recovered and then letting it go again
