Anyone been watching Lost Land of the Volcano? It is the same people that made Lost Land of the Jaguar (most people remember this as the series a couple of years ago where the entomologist crawled into a rotten log filled with spiders ! Yuck!)
Anyway this series is absolutley breathtaking, and there are lots of bats in it! They have a bat expert from the Zoological Society of London, and she has discovered several new species of bats, which you get to see up close - pretty amazing...
If you have missed them, you can watch them on iplayer... Here is the link to the first episode:

BBC says: "Series combining stunning wildlife with high-octane adventure, as a team of scientists and wildlife filmmakers from the BBC's Natural History Unit explores one of the last great unspoilt jungle wildernesses on earth.
New Guinea is a rugged tropical island that is home to some of the strangest creatures on the planet. The team is based at the foot of Mount Bosavi, a giant extinct volcano covered in thick and largely unexplored rainforest. With the help of trackers from a remote tribe, they aim to search for the animals that live there - and they make amazing finds.
Wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan discovers the nest of the world's smallest parrot, insect expert Dr George McGavin finds a talking beetle, the scientists identify types of frog, gecko and bat that are completely new to science, and adventurer Steve Backshall has to live and sleep underground as he explores a cave system flooded with white water.
The cameras follow the team every sweaty step of the way as they search for the evidence that may help preserve this last great jungle forever
