Description Taken on my Austin trip. Here is another angle of the bats emerging from their roosts. It was amazing to see. It was so interesting to see them all coming out in order, from one side of the bridge to the other. Then when they reached the end, another batch came out from the beginning. They had a definite system going. It was very organized. I attempted to mess with levels and contrast, but it just messed the photo up. The only thing I did was straighten and crop from the bottom. Yes, the pole is annoying me, but I left it. Hope you enjoy.

Bat conservation info on this colony can be found here. [link]

No, not at all. They have sonar. Running into me wasn't even a worry.

I'm not surprised xDDDD If you come to Spain one day, don't forget to visit the CaΓ±Γ³n del RΓ­o Lobos, which is in Soria. I'm sure you'll love it. You'll not found bats there, but caves, monastery of templarios, a river.... 20 km of natural park ^^
