I decided seeing the bats is a spring thing because twilight in the UK is timed just nicely for viewing them and I saw them and wrote this poem. I might fail on the spring association though but I was getting nowhere with birds lol

Lovely poem! I love seeing the bats at night too.

I always feel I've spotted something rare, even though I could possibly watch them every night :)

For those who have no fear of bats, it would be a beautifully choreographed dance… Dilly style.

We saw them in a twilight visit to the park Lin but have a few visible in the trees from our garden too... I'm not afraid of bats (although I googled 'bat faces' to show my daughter they were cute and that was a bit hit and miss haha). They are lovely to watch. This evening from a roundabout but others on the hammock at home :)
