Really nice that you did not get a back flash on the wall behind. You can see really good detail.
I find bats very interesting , but have not had an opportunity to photograph them. I have only had them fly into my tent, on then out of an outhouse open toilet when I put my lantern down next to it in Zambia. YIKES !!!
Thanks Atul & Cindy! It was already dark when this bat flew in and landed near us, so I did use flash.
Hey, really nice Adam. Love the color. I assume you used a flash ???
superb spotting !! thanks for sharing!
