Two little brown bats have spent the evening flitting about and foraging over my lawn, several times coming within a few centimetres of the picture window in my living room. This is a real surprise as they are almost the only bats we have seen here this summer - the bat box overlooking the stream has been empty and ignored all year for the first time since I put it up. These two were highly active and I watched them catching insects for about 25 minutes, until it got too dark to see. For all I know they could still be out there. Some of the on-line material about Little Brown Bats tells me that they usually don't eat from September to may - well someone should tell these two! They were doing very well. Maybe we are having an "Indian Summer" and they decided to take advantage of it. Certainly there have been a lot of insects about for the last couple of days. Anyway it is good to see them again - even my neighbours had been asking where the bats had gone this year. John Belbin - Kingston
