EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this award-winning snapshot captured by Kim Taylor, we witness a truly extraordinary sight - a Brown Long-eared bat indulging in some refreshing hydration from a picturesque lily pond. This enchanting moment showcases the playful and mischievous nature of these winged creatures. With its velvety brown fur and those unmistakably long ears, our star bat gracefully hovers above the water surface. Its delicate wings create ripples that mirror its flight path, while the vibrant green lily pads provide an idyllic backdrop for this scene. The audacity of this little daredevil is simply astonishing! Who knew bats had such refined taste? Sipping nectar from flowers may be common among their avian counterparts, but our charming chiroptera friend has decided to take it up a notch by opting for a more sophisticated beverage choice. As it delicately lowers itself towards the water's edge, you can almost hear whispers of "Toad-ally Thirsty Thursday!" echoing through its tiny echolocation system. The reflections on the pond seem to cheerfully dance along with our furry friend as if they were celebrating his triumphant discovery of this hidden oasis. So let us raise our imaginary glasses filled with bubbly mosquito-infused mocktails and toast to this magnificent creature who knows how to have a wild time amidst Surrey's serene gardens. Cheers to you, Mr. Brown Long-eared bat - may your adventures
