Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that bats are not blind and can see during daylight?

Yes. One review states outright that bats are not blind and that some species have eyesight keen enough to navigate in daytime without echolocation. Other items show bats flying in daylight or seeing well in dim light, while a couple note bats are typically nocturnal foragers.
