[DTCwordfan]

Have you got Alistair Cook there, gness?

[Psybbo]

Gness, you have crickets?

[gness]

I don't have crickets....I don't have Mr Cook......just bats......maybe vampire bats......☻

[Psybbo]

Do you have long hair, I was always scared they'd get entangled un my hair.

[DTCwordfan]

must be Australian bats, I hope - no runs between them.

[gness]

Not very long, Psybs....they really don't do that...x

Could be, DT....☺

[Psybbo]

Who climbed the ladder yesterday and the outcome was?

[gness]

I climbed the ladder....son was on his phone as usual.....but he made the coffee....x

[DTCwordfan]

Not me, still relatively sober......xx

[DTCwordfan]

to tackle what, gness, your ladder mounting.....I've got the lower gutters to clean shortly - and before the leaf falls of autumn.

[Psybbo]

DTC, just been informed, place in Dalkey, one in California and somewhere on the continent

Gness, just down my lane, there are two very large old trees that home countless bats, they take flight every evening at twighlight. You can see dozens of them.
What sort of a reading would that give on your detector - would so many render it useless (ie too many signals) ??

[gness]

Hi, Ferlew....not at all....the more the merrier.

Bats use ultrasonic sounds to avoid obstacles and locate prey. We can't hear them so the detector picks up the sounds and converts to a frequency we can hear.

Different types of bats give out different sounds so you adjust your detector to identify the type of bat.

I only have pipistrelles here.....my daughter can identify a number of different bats where she lives.

My brother and his wife bought one......they love it but their teenage son isn't so smitten when his friends are around....

What on earth are your parents doing with that thing in the garden?

Errr....locating bats....... :-(

Ahhhh.........☺
