Wildlife Photo Competition 6 2013 : Entry Number 107

A definite favourite and an original subject for this theme. It is a very clever wide angle frame of the cave entrance where all of these bats have come from. Great shot, well done.

Hello. My name is Nio Jakop Iskandar from Indonesia. This shot was taken in a bat's cave on the outskirt of city. To do this, I went inside the cave a little deeper and wait until the sun is about to set. Bats have biological clock where they have to leave the cave to find food when the sun sets and return back to the cave just before the sun rises. It is not pleasant to be in the bat's cave. It's dirty, smells pungent and lots of bats' pee and droppings. But this shot is worth it. Camera used is Olympus E300 + ZD8mm fisheye.
