I know ElizT! It's a tiny cave but obviously ancient and painted by the elements - mostly water to create minerals of all sorts :)

simon said...

looks like bat scat.!

Are you web browsing? ;o)

HAHA Simon - never time for web browsing ... online ;) The cave is way too small for even one bat, the stalagmites and stalactites are formed by the dripping seepage of a natural spring.

simon said...

yes! hard to get a perspective.

I caught a bat flying in our home one day.. small and pale ( the bat not me!)

I researched it- it is a "lesser long eared" bat

I t was easy to catch I just put my hand up and it flew into it... they are aboutthe size of a mouse

:o)

A visual treat but is'nt it time you cleaned your ceiling?

Your bats sound delightful Simon! Ours are huge, hairy, smelly and make everything purple outside our house once a year. Including the car!

Hhehehheee Modroom! I wouldn't be surprised if our ceiling ended up like that if it kept raining. Our roads have turned into lap pools!

Tiny Ces! The stalagmite on the bottom photograph is no more than 10cm.
