Re: Bat in the afternoon??

Hi pipolo
It's not uncommon for some bats to fly earlier in the day. Sometimes it's due to hunger, or colder nights which mean less insect activity (less food) so bats will emerge much earlier to forage. We have recently had some colder nights, and at this time of year bats need to feed more to gain weight for hibernation.
Hope this helps
Jo
