Amex BATWATCH

[Easy 10]

Did anyone else notice the BATS last night, fluttering around the floodlights in the WSU ?

Some of the flitty fluttery things may well have been moths, but some of them were definitely WAY too big for that. They kept catching my eye, every now and then a big-bodied furry fecker would flap into view and then disappear amongst the rafters. Bloody brilliant.

Its official. We have to accept that there is an increased risk of stadium/bat collision.

I saw moths but no bats in the WSU.
I also saw a fox not far from the ground.

Bit short notice but there's a batwatch" tour in preston park and rock garden tonight. Don't have any other details but there's a notice in the notice board by Andy Rollings cafe in the middle of the park.

They might have just been giant killer moths (Giganticus Yeovillus)

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

It doesn't help when they screw around. I saw this coming from the stadium two night ago.

 

[Scotty Mac]

were they as big as the infamous huish park bat from 2006 though?

 

[Storer 68]

I saw 11 black cats on the grass. They didn't impress anyone

Doubt very much you saw a bat. They fly away from light not towards it......................Large moths on the other hand......

 

[Giraffe]

I specifically looked for bats but saw none. There were loads of large moths though, I think you're confused!

if moths like the light so much, how come you never see em during the day ?

Thought that said 'AMEX Baywatch'! Was wondering which fit bird I'd like to see running across the hallowed turf in a slinky red swimsuit.

Then the closest i can suggest is the Gully's Girls X rated spanking thread.

There were midges in the North Stand. Well I assume they were. Might have been tiny wee bats. Or fleas.

Palarse infiltrated the North stand?

 

[Hungry Joe]

Don't know about bats but there was an absoultely cracking little fox serving Harveys in the North concourse last night who gave me a smile and my first pre-Gully's Girls erection of the season.

Oh I say! Charming Flitterymouse-type-scenes.

I can't say I was keeping an eye out for the lil' funsters tbh, but it sounds like they were putting on a smashin' display for all you stripey eves-dwellers.

Maybe Uncle Tone could pop a belfry up for them on top of the roof? It'd certainly provide those cheery architectural critics with a new talking point: not to mention sticking a positive spin on any 'Batty Boy' nonsense from visiting knuckle-draggers. I think I'll check it out with Insider...

Seriously ... Falmer has always been a brilliant site for bat-watchers. The bats I've seen were mainly on the Lewes side of the village, up by the old barn. I'd love to see them migrate in numbers to the stadium. They are great creatures to watch.

And they rarely collide with vehicles - although I was once hit full in the face by one (inside a cave).

Bleedin heck! that sounds a bit scary. Don't mind caves, don't mind bats but the two together adding a collision with my face might just send me home sulking to bed.

 

[Gazwag]

The bat/vehicle problem was blown all out of proportion - no way will cars caused a problem with their average speed of ½mph leaving the stadium

For the next evening home game, just in case:

BAT

MOTH
