Horseshoe Bat

I was accustomed seeing common 'fruit bats' a.k.a. 'Flying fox' of the city.. And ALWAYS wanted to see these small & truly scary( to girls & some guys :-p ) Bats.
But on my trek to 'Harishchandragad' i was lucky enough to see & photograph this beautiful 'Blythe's' horseshoe bat'.
All thanks to my Friend 'Pravin' who spotted this.
Am very sorry that i couldn't click its face because it was resting in very tiny crevices.
My friend assisted me with the torch & help me record this on my cam.

This category is still untouched & still not much study about their diversity..
