A bird is able to hover in one place by flapping its wings rapidly and adjusting the angle of its wings to create lift and counteract gravity. This allows the bird to stay in one spot by continuously adjusting its wing movements to maintain balance and stability in the air.

How do bats hover in one spot?

They don't. Flying and hovering are two different actions, and the speed at which bats are able to flap their wings does not allow for them to stay in one spot for long. The angle of wings also plays a role--since a bat's wings are flat against the air they can not stay still. Few birds are able to hover as well. The humming bird, for example, have an angle to their wings and push the wind around them quickly enough to stay in a single place.
