Hidden in the Foliage

A lot of rustling in the branches this morning meant another squirrel was passing by. But other than a glimpse it didn't show itself this time. 

Later in the day a magpie sat preening itself in a prune tree but also largely hidden from sight.

And just now (just before 10 pm), a small bat flew into the living room, presumably attracted by a lamp on the fireplace. Third time that's happened in the almost 30 years we've lived here. No foliage in this case but still no way of catching it in a photograph either unfortunately. So I switched off the light and opened wide the sliding window at the front. Where remaining daylight lured it back to the front of the living room and eventually out into the sky.
