Bat in trouble

Hemelum

Niels, on his way to his work (with us), found this little creature
hooked with his/her wings in the barbed wire.
Just before we released him/her i took this shot.
It was not easy to get the bat free, because she/he was
very stressed and aggressive.
And there is always the risk of getting rabies/hydrophobia
if you got bitten by a bat

Minolta DiMAGE Z1
1/50s f/3.2 at 9.6mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

I'm glad you managed to free the bat, it's nice to know people stop to help wildlife.
Glad too that you managed to get a shot of it first.

It's sad for the bath, but nice for you to find him. I never saw them in real only in the zoo
