Pipistrellus abramus Japanese Common Pipistrelle

Bat watching at Sunset on the banks of the Tamagawa river in Tokyo.
Hundreds of them come out every night to hunt the thousands of insects buzzing around. We sit still and they come to within inches of our faces using that amazing echo location. They have remarkable flying skills. They are so fast its hard to see them swooping in and out of view. Look hard !
