In Flight Service
I recently won a photo competition with this image run by the manufacturers of the world’s best echolocation call recording systems for microchiropteran bats, AnaBat.
This photo was taken as we released some bats captured in traps to record these echolocation calls during a bat survey near Smith’s Lake (Seal Rocks) on the NSW mid-north coast earlier this year. The image is best ‘Viewed Larger’.
