Gee, that's a big bird....

Last night I went out on the roof of the hostel I am staying at just after sunset to have a look at the city skyline with all the buildings alight. I noticed a lot of birds flying around low overhead, I would compare them to the size of a really fat Crow.

The thing I found the strangest was that as they flew so low, they were totally silent. No sound from their wings, no noise, nothing.

It was only when I managed to see one that was backlit fly overhead and caught the shape of it's wings....

There were about 50-60 large bats circling overhead.

I went back inside.

Glad to hear you're enjoying the local wildlife. Going to get a picture of one of those? Maybe smuggle one home as a pet, that'd be cool. Imagine the customs guy finding that in your luggage!
