Bats in the Belfry
We had a visitor tonight, courtesy of the fruiting trees outside base camp. He has now been dubbed Bruce the Bat. We noticed his pile of droppings this morning, but didn't see him. So when we heard suspicious plopping sounds shortly after Battlestar Galactica ended, we rushed out to have a look.

And then we ran for the gear..
Since we have no long lens, we had to get as close as possible to get all the details.
Can you see the bat up there? It nicely cooperated by flipping itself over, hanging by its arms on the ledge, and relieving itself.
It missed the printer and the cupboards (barely), so Ria decided to be nice and not implement any of the evil anti-bat measures we were contemplating earlier.
As this post is being written, Tom is busy watching the bat (hopefully with his mouth closed), just in case it does something else, now that we've set up the lighting and settings properly.

Bruce didn't turn up last night :-(
I diligently papered the floor in preparation for his visit. But this morning, there wasn't a trace of him.
Perhaps it was because of the rain? Or impending rain?
Does this mean Bruce can help us predict the weather?
Bruce means good weather?
Wow! That will be so cool.
Bruce didn't come last night either :-(
I hope he's OK and didn't become someone else's dinner or something.
