A bat is captured beautifully by wildlife photographer Kim Taylor
This stunning photograph shows a thirsty bat having a drink at its fav*ourite waterhole.
The image was captured by wildlife photographer Kim Taylor after months of painstaking work.
After noticing the bats flying close to his garden pond at night, he began wondering how he could catch the creatures on camera. Travelling at 20mph and with wing beats not visible to the human eye, the nocturnal animals are notor*iously difficult to photograph.
Ingeniously, the 76-year-old rigged ropes across the pond to channel bats to drink from a certain point. Then he used special sensors to get the perfect shots.
In this case, the subject is believed to be a brown long-eared bat which made its home in his garden near Guildford, Surrey.
Mr Taylor said: 'I think not one in a million people has seen this happen but it happens every night during the summer months all over the country.
Heather McFarlane, from the Bat Conservation Trust, said she was stunned by the photographs. 'Our experts have never seen anything like these shots before,' she added.
