Bat walk

[C.Cat]

(Nothing to do with Batman)

Last night I went on an organised walk through a nature reserve to look at bats. We were given bat detectors to pick up the sounds of the bats hunting, and we were told how to identify different types of bat. There were 3 different sorts, but I can't say what they were because I don't know how to spell their names! I've always liked bats, and it was great to be able to see them living wild up close.

I just need to go in my backyard. We back off into a park, and there's lots of bat flying around the trees at night. Can't say there is three kinds though, they're just black shapes silhouetted against the darkening sky.
Also, at different times in my backyard I can see: racoons, squirrels, birds (of course), skunk, chipmunks, groundhogs, rabbits - and I live in the city.
