A wonderful series of images John. Not something that many of us get to see so thanks for sharing them with us.

Thanks Dave. They're not the easiest things to photograph within the constraints of avoiding potential disturbance during hibernation. I've found the LED illuminator from 7 Day Shop very versatile and easy to filter with various semi transparent materials held on with an elastic band.

Really impressive collection of shots Woodman. What a pleasure it must be to see these at such close quarters. Fab!

Thank you, Wild-Woman, it's always exciting to come across hibernating bats and especially the rarer species.

Great series Woodman! - and good to know that you are doing your best to prevent any discomfort to the animals when taking the photos. Well done.

Great shots John ... I was only thinking about you and bats the other day! But I told myself there would be no bats at this time of year!! Wrong!!
