Bat's are not blind contrary to popular belief. The expression blind as a bat probably comes from bats doing exactly what you saw, Lakes. They use sonar to locate insects in the air. If your bat was chasing one, it probably just smacked into the lampost by mistake or the lampost could have been giving out a slight vibration which it heard and confused it with a moth or something. I remember one time when I was a kid standing with a group of mates one night, and when one turned around, he'd a bat sitting on his shoulder. They're oddballs, them bats.

I thought theirs sonar 'bounced' sound off objects thus measuring the distance and size of said object? Could be completely wrong but never thought they measured the 'vibration' of lamp-posts???

I would've thought the same, too. Makes you wonder what else they accidentally mistake for food.  :D

Great stats from Andy :D

We captured bats with jerseys when kids. You threw the jersey up, and often the bat got trapped in it, as the jersey fell again.

I like bats, they keep insects in acceptable rates in summer.

IN 1996 i was doing a bit of caving, we was about 50ft down when about 500 bats took off right at us, there was not much room but not one of them hit us.

Dya reckon any cats kill bats ?
You know like the way they get birds all the time ?

Me brothers cat has killed a few pigeons in its time. But it would be weird seeing it mauling a bat.

Bats are weird but also quite mysterious like foxes.

lol well heres another strange one for you, me and my wife jumped out of bed at 3am due to the fire alarm going off in the bed room. after 5 mins of smelling everything we put it down to the battery(but when it was set off it continuous untill i took the battery). I got a new battery and as i was about to put it in a very small spider crawled out of the sensor part of the alarm.

it must have crawled over the particle sensor and then just sat there lol


bloody spiders.
