The first electrocuted bat across from our window has been joined by a second. Looks like a really bad omen. A warning along the lines of decapitated heads of traitors displayed on spikes on London Bridge in Tudor times? Should probably be examining our consciences, but instead repair to Google. And discover that bats being electrocuted on wires not particularly rare despite our not having encountered the phenomenon before. Unlike birds, bats tend to hang upside down and are thus quite likely to touch two separate wires and become the circuit connector.
Had this second bat waited a few hours he might not have died as the power is turned off in our area for an hour and a half around supper time - well, to be precise as I am simmering a pasta sauce. Once more reason to be pleased about cooking with gas, although less light on the subject than usual.
