How do you scare bats away or prevent them comming so close? We go on walks by a lake and bats fly right next to our heads. Sometimes they fly inches away, where you have to duck or else they will collide with you. I am afraid one of these times these little brown bats are going to hit one of us.
Is there certain colors to wear? Should we not duck? Should we keep walking right into the bats? Do bats hate, smells, light, or noise? Is it normal for bats to come this close even when your far away from the lake and bugs?
One time there was one bat comming at me at the corner of my eye and if I did not duck it would have hit me, and i am not a paranoid type of person.

It can be nerve-raking when pigeons or bats are all of a sudden flying right past your head, but don't worry. Just relax and enjoy your stroll.
The little bats are not after you, they are after all of the mosquitoes and other bugs that are are swarming around your head!! Bats consume about 600 mosquitoes an hour. Imagine how bad off you would be if the bats stayed as far away from you as possible!!! Be grateful you have this service! And enjoy your walk.
Bats are excellent navigators. They can swerve and dive with precision. That bat that almost hit you would have swerved.

Bats navigate using sonar, the chances of being hit are a million to one and even if it did happen a bat is so small that it wouldn't hurt you.
If you are really worried put your hands on your head like mickey mouse ears and wiggle your fingers to give the bats a good signal.

I dont think of so as that Aussies will declare their innings. i replaced into first stunned bout how the flaws replaced on the 1st day. At lunch Aussies have been finding to attain greater desirable than 500 via the way they have been battings and on the top Aussies misplaced their 9 wickets. i think of Aussies will attempt to get as many runs as they'd. they gets basically 20 runs greater because of the fact the 1st hr will b helping pacers.

lol, there is no color that will make a difference since bats are blind, they will always dart at you in the night when they are flying around, thats what they do as they are hunting for bugs

I'd be tempted to carry around a lightweight, sawed-off broom with me. Them little rascals carry rabies.
