Wow - thanks for the great response to my bat image. 😎

Here are two sets of two images, showing how the bats were catching insects in flight.

They use a flap of skin on their tail to scoop up the flying insects, and then bring this forwards, and over their head, to allow them to eat the caught insect.

All while continuing to fly around.

Images captured with a Canon R5 and RF100-500mm.

Daubenton's bat.
