My primary editing interests are military and military history related articles, in particular anything to do with current and historic British aviation and naval history. Although I do go around making subtle (and some times not so subtle) edits where I feel necessary.

Beware of those learned in the ways of Sock puppetry. Chronic Sockpuppeteers, such as Chanakyathegreat affectionately known as "The BANNED one", or, "the one who is not so great" are undoubtedly the most stubborn kind to run into!

Awards

	The Editor's Barnstar
	For this edit, which help to make my headache go away because I've been looking long and hard trying to figure out how to reformat/reword since day 1 of the messy text dump by an ignorant but helpful (good faith, nonetheless) newbie. Good job~! Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 16:52, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

The parti-coloured bat (Vespertilio murinus), also known as the rearmouse, is a species in the vesper bat family, Vespertilionidae. It is found across temperate Eurasia, from western and southern Europe through the Caucasus, Iran, Mongolia, northern China, Korea, Afghanistan and northern Pakistan. It measures 4.8–6.4 cm (1.9–2.5 in) in body length, weighs 11–24 grams (0.39–0.85 oz), and has a 26–33 cm (10–13 in) wingspan. Much of the parti-coloured bat's behaviour remains poorly understood because the species is relatively rare. It hunts insects such as mosquitoes, caddis flies and moths using ultrasonic calls, often over water and forests and around street lights. Females form maternity roosts and usually bear twins, while the species migrates long distances and hibernates alone through winter. Its distinctive twittering call is especially noticeable during the autumn mating season. This parti-coloured bat was photographed in Rochovce, Slovakia.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
