The problem of trying to snap bats!

The problem of trying to snap bats!
They were out in force this dusk just gone and they are hard to capture at the best of times but this is their time when they feast on the plenty of mosquitos we unfortuntely get here, especially at the start of a heat wave (coming now). I sometimes try to capture them in honour of the sterling job they do (I react badly to mosquito bites!).
I can only find two and I thought I had got a dozen or so in shot!

Generous of you Herb. I dreaded a two week climbing trip to Skye with the university climbing club back in 78 as my only previous experience of the Northwest of Scotland had been a midge infested few days also in a July. Fortunately the weather wss glorious and we didn't see a single midge! The following year's climbing trip there in September was a different story and I love the place but would think twice in the future! I wonder if Pipistrelles might like it there?
