These little guys would roost under the thatched roof of our accommodation, quite harmless, unless like one person did and tried to pick one up that had a damage wing.
As light was not great, a small hint of fill-in flash was used and had no effect on the bat itself. Wedged into a corner it's amazing how low you can go hand held.The wiry item towards the top RH corner is bits of thatch. Also no NR has been applied to the BKG, this is as shot. Changing/tweaking my workflow has allowed me not to apply the minimal I might have chosen in the past.
