Bat!

Unexpected excitement in my Lang courtyard office yesterday. I was sitting with a friend from China in when I spotted a blue jay, who appeared to be sparring with a smaller bird in midair. The other fell to the ground on the steps, but looked strangely two-dimensional. 

I went over to have a look... It wasn't a bird at all! A little bat was frozen in shock, its mouth moving mechanically, and its wings seemed stuck. Carefully, with some paper, I moved it into the shade under a bush and it slowly pulled itself together. Who knew we had bats?!
