Oh, I have a question!

Does the "squeek squeek" bats purportedly make ever sound more like "skiffle skiffle"? If not, what the heck was that flying above my head yesternight that was grey (probably - y'know, it was dark out) and looked bat-like and went, uh, skiffle skiffle as it flew?

All my knowledge of bats is based on an exhibit at the Natural History museum here (you go into a cave that has strategically placed video monitors showing them) but I'd say they both go "squeak" and "skiffle." And sometimes something like "squee-iffle."

What circumstances dictate which sound they make, and whether or not it was a bat you saw, I have no idea.
