Hi Ashjeet.. thanks for the comment and the appreciation... This was a project I enjoyed...

wow.....pics are just gr8 .....

Thanks for the comment Thomas...  Would love to see the sight you mentioned  some day... Nature consciousness in India can be abysmally lacking... But at the local level one can often see examples which inspire one... in her comment on this same blog post Kala has mentioned that "Near Theni in Tamilnad there is a place fully infested with bats population and people dont burst crackers even during diwali inorder not to scare the bats."

yes the camera lights are blinding to the bats...it is a site to watch. The spectators (some days more than 200 people) are so quite when the event happens...imagine doing something like that india

Hi Meera.. It was a fascinating time I spent under the trees observing and photographing this colony of bats... Thanks to the fact that I'd taken my camera along I am able to share these images with all of you... Keep visiting... Regards ..Dev

Those are cool pictures... 8th and the 9th one are the coolest ;)

Hi tanushri.. Glad you liked these pics... It is such a blessing to have a good camera - one is able to share images with people all over the globe thanks to blogging...
p.s. just looked up the collective noun for bats - it is a colony of bats

Wow, what a collection of bats! Beautiful Photography!

Hi Kala... thanks for the informative comment ... It is nice when local people are sensitive to the flora and fauna around them and especially in the case of bats as most of us are scared of them... 

Hello DKV
Interesting post

From march to early November mexican free tailed bats roost under the congress avenue bridge. and at twilight they stream out in hunt for the insects.
I was lucky to watch that show.
