Fascinating Connection between Opals and Bats


In February I've joined Slovakian Bat Conservation Society for their yearly census of bats in Opal mines. That's the oldest opal mines in the world, for around 100 they been closed, and recently opened for tourism. But it also perfect place for bats to hibernate during winter. And that's why it's the best time to count them to monitor their population.

I love bats but as someone afraid of the dark, confined spaces, and heights, NOPE 🙃

then you look out for them in the summer, you can spot them if forests or some buildings, church attics and so on. They are in caves mostly during winter only, for hibernation
