For those of you who have been led to believe that your heterodyne detector's bangs, cracks, slaps and warbles are representative of bat vocalisation - sorry (not sorry) to disappoint. Bats sing. They don't beatbox. Very different things.

Or buy your loved one a GREAT bat detector for way under £100. And big, big bonus - it works as a 384kHz USB microphone out of the box, no reprogramming, it just works - for smartphone / tablet bat detecting and recording.

The Drum Tower (Gulou) by American John David Zumbrun, c.1913
Here's 20+ minutes of bat joy from just over a week ago, 9th July - there were newly-fledged pipistrelle pups flying with their mothers, brief flashes of myotis, and a bunch of Serotine action to finish off, all with simultaneous 16x time expansion and heterodyning.

Wine-hued glaze, Qing dynasty cup
Contra the usual gaudy Qing ceramics, here is the Kangxi Emperor’s favorite rouge glaze: 胭脂紅.
Palace medical records noted that Kangxi (1654-1722) was cured of his depression (after his favorite son’s death) by red wine, brought to him by a Jesuit missionary. Hence the commemorative wine-red glaze.
