continues with a Long-eared Pipstrelle lapping up Licorish allsorts. Ears up as it is actively listening. Look up and boggle at the sheer quantity of insects bats eat in a night! Chuck out your pest sprays and invest in tree crevices and bat boxes!

continuing a pace! Ghost bats are Australia's largest microbat, stunning & carnivorous. has done some awesome research on their social vocalisations. Lolly frogs are wonderfully chewy - a real Macroderma gigas would infinitely prefer a mouse.
