Discoveries with Dougall 6 - Evening light and bats galore.

Evening light - sun burning on wood, leaves dappled with rays, calm in the sky, just before the night life kicks in. This walk took us to a bat colony. Hundreds of bats hanging upside down from the trees, all wrapped up and resting. Very soon they will start to stretch and fan their wings, ready to wake from their slumber, to take off into the sunset in search of fruit and berries.Their populations are decreasing and they can be noisy but they are very important for forest pollination and seed dispersal.
