A friend of mine had/has one. Many a time he would bring me outside so we could watch some bats circle around the house on the hunt.

Nice Xmas dinner with the nice lesbian couple next door, drank rather too much to be unhungover tomorrow and brought some turkey back for the cat who is now happy and full. (Other cat turns his nose up at human food. He's weird.) Runcible Cat fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Dec 25, 2023 |

My cat turned his nose up at the turkey so he just got salmon Whiskas and some extra treats. Ungrateful little bastard.

Kin posted:Thank you santa for giving me a passive aggressive wife who's blaming me for making her feel bad and ruining Christmas because she bought me the wrong thing from my amazon wishlist. Christ! it sounds like your the passive aggressive one here.... yeah, ok.. your wife got you the wrong present, such is life. Normal people graciously accept the present in the spirit it was given. For example, my dad got me some warm socks for my motorbike ride to work, I'd have liked something different but whatevers, I'll find them useful & I'm not going to piss on his bonfire by moaning about them.

Brendan Rodgers posted:You can't hear most of the sounds a bat makes no matter what age. Unless this is the origin story of you discovering your super power. Not most of it no, but I think I used to be able to hear it very faintly when I was younger. The vaguest hint of a high pitched peeping noise and a sense of pressure on the ear as if there were more to it. Similar effect if you have one of those ultrasonic cat annoyers and you tune it up just out of your range of hearing. As far as I know you're more likely to have the ability if you're a woman and young, it deteriorates with age.

Is it your eyes?? https://www.nhbs.com/magenta-bat-4-bat-detector There's much fancier ones that let you capture spectrographs, this one you set it detecting a particular frequency, which lets you determine the species (different species echo locate in different frequencues). I also got some socks, slippers and an umbrella.

I went on a bat walk and we got to eavesdrop on all the bat-chat. Bats make lots of different squeaks and clicks, so I asked the guide if anyone knew what the different calls meant and he said no. I expect you to crack the translation, Pablo.

Oh well, soon be bedtime When he's up playing his games with his mates, sneak up & listen to the bullshit they talk.... Me & the ex used to do that at christmas, it was funny as gently caress listening to the kids being all 'gangsta' with their mates on xbox, you obviously have to be quiet coz they get a bit arsey if they hear you laughing outside their bedroom door.

Thank you for the bagsplenations. There were a ton of bats in the town I grew up in, and I did an academic research project about bats, but we never got any fancy bat detectors. =(

Hey, ladies, I've a bat in my pocket. If I had a euro for every time a bat flew into my house and I had to use a fishing net to catch them and then release them outside, I'd probably have maybe €7 or €8. Which isn't that much money, but it does tend to happen a lot if you live near colonies of bats.

Merry Christmas everybody. First Christmas I’ve travelled back to my hometown and stayed overnight in a new Travelodge. They even have a bar open on Christmas Day, what a time to be alive.
