DAUBENTON’S BAT

Scientific name: Myotis daubentonii

If you come to a pond at twilight, you will see me and my family diving down, and scooping insects off the surface of the water with our feet.

We make a lot of noise to make a sound-picture of where we are hunting, but your ears are not good enough to hear us, which is good

See you at twilight maybe, Bye…

Hello,

In late spring and summer you will see me flitting around the edges of slow-moving rivers, ponds and lakes near to where you live.

You call me a Banded Demoiselle Damselfly and I was born in your canal, my egg was injected by my mother into the stem of a plant under the water.
