A small bat, roosting in the roof of a house porch, in the village of Cirangjang, near Cianjur.
Porch roof, Ciranjang, Cianjur.
Not the sharpest of images, but took me several weeks just to get this much.

Thank you so much.
Yes, a lot of effort went into getting this shot. It was all about learning the habits, where the bats are going to land and then tripod and pre-focus (guess). You only get a couple of chances, depending on the number of bats. If you miss, you have to wait until the next dawn.
