Bat tasting some Banana Flower’s Honey.. I found him heading to a group of banana trees, and I ran inside to get my machine to capture him. <br />
LENS&hellip;. Uff it was not necessary to swallow him completely(18-55), all of some sudden actions and I was out with what I have the max. (300mm), but unfortunately I couldn&#039;t find where he is hidden by that time. I was little disappointed and turned back; suddenly I heard the sound of his wings&hellip; YEAA.. I got him again, this time I won&rsquo;t leave you.. I followed him all the way to the next group of banana trees, I think that banana flower&rsquo;s honey is his favourite.. ; )<br />
I reached almost nearer very quietly, he is a very sharp listener, he recognized me and moved very silently to the end of some bunch of bananas to get it&rsquo;s flower.<br />
Here I started clicking, as I mentioned earlier, he could listen each and every click sounds too.. Brilliant..!!<br />
<br />
Picture Descriptions :<br />
01. Here I am&hellip;!! He was watching the beauty of flower/some smell of a foreigner nearby wink emoticon<br />
02. Who Cares&hellip; !! Started sucking honey from every single piece..<br />
03 . Ummmm.. Yummyy&hellip;..!! He enjoyed it well, may be my clicks as well.. :p<br />
04. I become more Stronger&hellip;.!! Checking his body parts here and there..<br />

Bat tasting some Banana Flower’s Honey..

I found him heading to a group of banana trees, and I ran inside to get my machine to capture him.
LENS…. Uff it was not necessary to swallow him completely(18-55), all of some sudden actions and I was out with what I have the max. (300mm), but unfortunately I couldn't find where he is hidden by that time. I was little disappointed and turned back; suddenly I heard the sound of his wings… YEAA.. I got him again, this time I won’t leave you.. I followed him all the way to the next group of banana trees, I think that banana flower’s honey is his favourite.. ; )
I reached almost nearer very quietly, he is a very sharp listener, he recognized me and moved very silently to the end of some bunch of bananas to get it’s flower.
