Boomslang Cave, Bats

It was Reece's birthday, and he decided to take a few friends caving to celebrate.  We were in Boomslang Cave for about 40 minutes, and during that time I did not see one bat.  The normal Miniopterus roost was empty.  I'm not sure if this was due to the time of year, or due to the fire place that we noted under the roost on our last visit. We will only know in Autumn next year, by which time the bats should have returned.

There were no bats in the Bat Chamber at the Exit end of the cave, nor in the side chamber behind the roost.
