Just phoned the RSPCA - apparently bats can't take off from the ground as they need aircurrents underneath them and that ios why he isn't getting far.

Apparently I ned to put him in a box then on to a hedge or something. He'll then crawl to the edge and fly away.

I'll edit the photos in the previous posts as photobucket might be gepping up,

Good job you didn't take my advice then.

I'll get you next time you nocturnal barsteward.

How are you going to get him into a box if you have a phobia of bats flying near you?

Fishing net?

Invite him in and set up an account for him, we can all have a chat then

Right..........I scooped him up with an indoor shovel type thing and put him on some old carpet I which I had placed on the wall (so he can get a grip of it).

On the wall:



Moving round a bit:



Moving again:



I pulled the carpet down so he was more at an angle (easier to take off):



He turned round 180% all by himself:




He's now been still for absolutely ages but I see him move his ears now and again.,

It&#39;s since seeing that Movie "Outdoors" with John Candy where a bat latches onto his face I&#39;ve been a bit worried about that ever since

The shovel did the trick though

Nice idea - though he said he was concerned he may be picked on for being a n00b

He could have been a mascot&#33;&#33;
