    This morning my Gardner found a little fellow like this but grey in colour Sleeping in one of my jack fruit trees.

    Is this Normal or is he just Lost or was tired from last nights activities?

    [​IMG] He/She is more like this but has the nose of the other

    Philippines has one of the largest diversity of bats... last calculated close to 80 types.

    Ha! Ha! maybe but my solitary tree guest has turned in to what may be a family of 3:vamp:
    I presume therefore that they are Social creatures? Luckily the Dogs are not bothering them.:smile:

    I wonder if the bats eat mozzies as well of fruit. Could sort out the mozzie problem.:vamp:

    Never thought about that but now you mention it, we seem to have less mozzies on the Terrace not far from the Tree in Question.:woot:
