Hallo Eyal
We have seen bats quite often in the Skukuza area under the roofs of one lapas situated near the restaurant, but I never had the urge to capture them there, therefore it is indeed a pleasure looking at all these hundreds of eyes looking back at me in your image. You have captured the one in the centre in a most favourable pose with its wings opened widely and it is indeed a lovely display. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards.

What an amazing shot Eyal.
That you managed to capture this fast moving bat so clearly is amazing enough,but to get a young bat clinging to its mother in flight is just fantstic!
Awesome work!
Well done.
Cheers
Steve

Hello Eyal
Great and interesting shot. Well done.

Surely, a -once in a lifetime- capture with a perfect, timely exposure Eyal, the short duration flash froze the quick action, which was certainly too fast for a 1/60th of a second. A very nice mother-and-child composition against a complimentary backdrop, well done indeed my friend!
