In the place where I live it’s bat season. They fly and make strange sounds in the evenings )

Here too. We have a tree free area that the wash runs through and the bats like to circle it to feed at dusk. The ones here are so tiny....mouse sized. They're fierce about protecting their feeding grounds though. It's fun watching their micro-sized aerial battles and listening to they're sounds.

In addition to the garden, I have several “wild” trees growing on my site - spruce, oak, pine and birch. I can't pinpoint exactly where these mice are, but they appear to be nesting in one of these trees.
The sounds they make are quite strange, at first I even decided that it was a fox that had caught a rat or some kind of bird. And only then did I realize that these were bats, because the sounds went on for a long time and constantly. They are quiet and do not interfere, but out of habit I am always on guard.
For some reason there are a lot of foxes here this year. All summer I go around locking the birds up at night and only letting them out in the morning, and it’s still easy for me, because the dog has the habit of guarding the birds, laying down not far from the pens.
Parents once went to the market and to a store in another village to buy halva, seasonings for canning cucumbers, salt and fresh watermelons, and along the way they met as many as three (!) foxes in different places.
I’m already thinking about whether I should go to the city and get vaccinated against rabies, just in case. I always vaccinate my dog (every year), but I myself go unvaccinated, walking in the forest with goats all summer and picking berries, mushrooms, and nuts. However, foxes are not like mad people - they run away at the sight of a person, and do not behave inappropriately. It’s just that there seem to be a lot of them.

Here no one gets vaccinated by rabies unless exposed to a rabid animals. Apparently the multiple shots are given in the belly and quite painful.
