All year round, magpies ravens and crows during the day, and it’s pretty common at night to see ugly (in a cute way) tiny bats zooming around. Of course there’s also the local fat cats inspecting their turf.
During summer, there’s these huge grasshoppers the size of my hand that just can’t shut up and are loud as hell. And often at night, I can see ferrets or weasels climbing walls. Oh, and there’s a insect hotel right outside my window that hosts bumblebees every year.
Well, there’s one that got stuck in my fly screen one summer night a couple years ago. I got a good minute to look at it before it freed its claws from the net 😊
It was an Alcathoe bat if I’m not mistaken. Of the species that live in my region, it’s the one that’s most similar anyway.
I had one in bed with me, 20 years ago in Wisconsin. Was sleeping on the floor in my mom’s room, felt something weird on my leg at 3 am, lifted the sheet and out flew a bat. Wound up calling the nonemegency police who came and got it out in a pillow case. It’s just as well I didn’t know how easy and horrible it is to get rabies or I’d have really freaked out. Never got a good look at it though.

I can see bats flying around my street, but not close enough to tell if they’re ugly or cute.
