Jon,

An interesting observation!  Any idea which species of bat it is?  I'm wondering whether it would be a late migrant or if there is a hibernaculum close by?
There were certainly no shortage of insects flying around us as we did some raking today in Halifax.

Cheers,
Bob McDonald

  For the past two afternoons (about 1600h) we have had a bat performing aerobatics on the bank behind our house. This afternoon I watched it closely and it seemed to be successfully going after some sort of flying insects.... about the size of a mosquito. Isn't it a bit late (in the year) and early (in the day) for bats to be out flitting around?

  Cheers
