For a few seconds a great, silent bat fluttered against the stars before disappearing into the blackness between them.

The bat dove and fluttered to the earth on a small hill between the forest and the river.

A black bat fluttered in the wind, between the house and the old tree.

Then as he whirled about him his cloak, the bat fluttered to it and hung there.

He started away as a small bat fluttered past.

The small bats took off like scraps of shadow and fluttered about.

A foolhardy bat fluttered towards them, curious to know who these strangers might be.

A frantic bird or bat fluttered darkly across the windshield.

A bat fluttered low around the eaves of a nearby warehouse, then vanished into the night.

However, while they are sitting at dinner, a large bat (a flying fox) flutters into the room.
