Bats - Eddie and Donk

[den]

Last night Donk flew several circuits of the room without problems. She is fat and healthy and eager to fly. I no longer had to encourage her to make that first flap.

After feeding her and Eddie, I stepped outside to get a feel of the night. It was cloudless and warm, 25C the thermometer told me, and I listened for the metallic hunting *tings* of the white-striped bats hunting overhead. Those bats know if the weather will be bad. No tings means rain is coming. Last night I could hear a lot of them.

I carried the two tents outside and placed them on top of the flight cage, opened the zips and used clothes pegs to hold the cotton flaps open. As I walked away I could hear the happy crunching of meal worms in both tents.

This morning the tents were empty. Donk and Eddie had decided to go.

Bye Donk! *wave*
Bye Crazy Eddie *wave*

*gives battybatbatbat a lovely cookie in the shape of a mealworm that Donk and Eddie asked me to make to thank you*

(They called. They said hello. Had some nice friendly bantering going on. It was all good.)

You're a silly bugger.
