Fruit Bats

This morning I shot some fruit bats, The conditions were atrocious, overcast, almost raining.
But I managed to salvage a few shots.
I need to go back when the light is better..

Looks like they were keeping a close eye on you!

Great shots! I'm curious how you find bats. I know there are bats in it area but I have never seen one in light I could photograph it.

These bats hang around outside in trees during the day, so you just need a sunny day.. At night they go looking for fruit.

Maybe use a flash for bats in caves etc.. ??
