Kitchen bat chase video goes viral

Footage of a man's attempt to remove a bat from his family home has been viewed more than 1m times on Facebook.

The bat flew into the kitchen of Derry Fleming's home in County Kerry.

His film-maker son, Tadhg, recorded the ensuing chaos as Mr Fleming tried to catch the bat with a bath towel.

The drama was all too much for the family's pet dog, which wet the kitchen floor.
