I think there are some Pipistrellus (pipistrellus?) sounds as well? Pipistrellus pygmaus is the species I have here, living in my house in Sweden. I'll try to catch them on video, you've encouraged me!
Yes, at this site there are usually also Pipistrellus pipistrellus hunting. The daubentonii bats are easier to record - you just have to point the camera to the water surface :-) But I also have videos of pipistrelles and will select one for uploading it here...
Hi, I am using a Nitemax digital night vision device, actually just a sensitive CCD camera. There was enough twilight, so I did not have to use the IR LEDs (their range is limited). The Nitemax is out of sale unfortunately, but I know that someone in the USA who still has some spares - if you are interested, give me your email address...
I do some bat research too and I have seen more of these kind of of images. I would like to use such a camera for counting bats flying out of their stay.
Hmm, I cannot remember exactly, at that lake both the "canadian goose" and the simple "wild goose" can be found (if the names make sense to you, these are the more or less direct translations of their german names - I am not a bird expert :-)
I am using a self-made heterodyne receiver, but the echolocation calls of the myotis bats are so short, that they sound like a clicking noise. I will browse my other videos and see, if I can find a sample of a different species (noctules for example..)
Thats a great bat detector! What brand is it?

WOW!!
May I ask what kind of camera you use??

Is this passive infrared, or thermal?
Greetings!
