I used to do a lot of caving (try keeping the camera clean down there!) We
went into a cave in bat breeding season (had the official OK for where to
go, all above board). Crawling through this tunnel, and suddenly about five
thousand bats decide to leave the cave. I remember one bat flying into me,
bouncing back, off the wall, into me, etc. Like a furry super ball.

We asked the ranger why, with the radar and all. He said they use radar
like we use lights at night. After you know where the dunny is, you don't
put on the lights to go. They knew the way out. Last time we weren't in it.

Got some great caving photos, none of the bats though. After they were
disturbed we left the cave.
I used one of those underwater puches to keep the camera and flash clean.

I turned on the light and watched fascinated as the bat circled the
room flying very close to me and other objects in the room without
touching them - fantastic.
