"Bat"ter luck next time

While out on an afternoon drive at about 5 o'clock, we were fortunate enough to locate 2 lionesses from our Southern pride on an nyala kill. As we watched them, I heard the familiar chirp of an African Goshawk, overhead. I looked up to see if I could find it and was most surprised to see it in hot persuit of a bat. I quickly instucted everyone to look up, and we all watched in amazement, as the Goshawk repeatedly tried to catch ,what had now become, a whole lot of bats. Eventually after about 10 minutes and loads of giggles from all on our vehicle, we saw the disgruntled Goshawk move away. We all focused our attention to the lions again , who in true lion fashion, had not budged an inch.
