Bats on a wire #3

This bat was in Stanmore, just near the train station.
It's the second bat i have seen this week.



It looks like it is hovering in the wind like
an eagle about to swoop on its prey.

Bats on a wire #2


This bat was near my house in Stanmore, Sydney.
When i was photographing it,
i saw a woman looking at it with her binoculars.
She was from an animal rescue group
(ironically called w.i.r.e.s)
and she told me that sometimes they find
a baby bat still alive and clinging to the dead mother bat.
On this occasion, there was no baby bat.
