I've not seen one in years. I used to see in my garden. It's actually quite to hard to realize they are bats, cause they come out in the dark and you would typically think it's a bird.

Yes. Saw them in a rural school area the night the boy graduated from that private school. They had installed bat houses around the school. Also had one swoop by my head when we were working and taking a break outside one morning.

I have done. I wonder if where I am is quite light polluted now but where my last home was, half a mile up the road I saw many in my younger years.

Indeed! They are small and cute fruit bats who normall roost in the mango trees in the neighbourhood park right where its densest so you have a really tough time spotting them. Otherwise there's always the Singapore Zoo!

Not often, but they’re here. I like seeing them and wanted to put up a bat box, but hubby’s not a fan. 😂

Yes, frequently. Common Brown Bats.
Even had a few sneak down the fireplace chimney at 3 AM, that I had to capture and release, or return to a shelter.

Sure, hundreds of them (mostly in the warmer months). They fly through my yard in the evenings. When construction crews turn on their halogen lights at night, they'll attract moths ... which in turn attract bats (dinner is served).

I take it you don't mean cricket bats. A bit of a sore point in England, right now...

I used to have an office in the main administration building on campus, up in the top floor. One day, I come into work and see something stuck on the brick wall. A closer look showed it was a bat clinging to the wall. Apparently the attic of the building, right above our heads, has become the nesting grounds for a rare species of bats, and sometimes, they get down into the offices below.

Occasionally. The most I have seen near my home were patrolling an area between some blocks of flats, where the street and home lights attracted a lot of insects.

I've seen a couple dead ones. Back in the mid- 80s we had millions of miller moths and there were bats everywhere eating them.

Yes ! Early evening in Spring and Summer . Love to watch them 🦇 Sometimes find sitting in my peach trees . 👻

Much less than back when I was a kid :(
There is much less bugs at night also …
Too much pesticides in our fields :(

I wish. We put up a bat house years ago, but not sure if anything is actually using it.

Yeah always.. one flew out of my hoody once off the clothesline and some people have them in their roofs and attics round here 😳

Yep.

Yes and hear them too.

Yes we have what are known as little brown bats here. Kinda cute actually.

No not much

Yes, frequently

Yes at night

Sometimes on summer nights

At my cottage.

I did put up a bathouse to encourage them.

For sure. My house is a registered bat dwelling

I own a Louisville Slugger and an Adirondak.

Yeah they’re mostly around forests and mountains but you might see a couple in quieter cities

Yeah, at dusk

Yes - at dusk

I specifically look for bats signed by the greats of the game. 🤣

Yes. One time we saved a baby bat

Go outside near a wooded area around dusk and throw some dirt up into the air, if you have bats around they'll come zooming down thinking the dirt are bugs.

Only in my belfry.

Not usually.

But years ago there were some ....in the church belfry tower, just like the cliche!

Sometimes, I see them about every other summer and fall.

Yep. There's no shortage of Flying Foxes here.

In my son’s nose

Yes although it is quite rare. You need to be in the right spots

Only at the cabin…they sure look scary!

They are tiny and really fast... So rarely

Not this time of year

I've seen a few. They fly away above the rooftop.

They're kinda hard to miss

Yes but increasing less each year.

Millions. Fruit bats every sunset

Almost never.

The only bat I see is Batman on tv

sometimes at dusk

Hell yes, tons of them.

Not anymore after COVID they disappeared
