I took a small scout group fort a bat walk from Lawrence House to Maitland =
(along the dykeland) and then to Oak Island cemetery (Hants East)..  Temp o=
f 21C, no wind, partly cloudy

Using Batbox IIIs we encountered  bats at 4 sites - (1-2 at each site).  Th=
is is more activity than we had seen 6 weeks earlier at the same site .. us=
ually a good site to see them.



At the Lawrence House parking lot, there was a band of mosquitos - about 30=
 cm in depth at a height of about 2 m when we started.  they were gone by t=
he time we returned (1 1/2 hrs)./

While returning to the farm (14 km west of there), we observed 22 bats in t=
he stretch from Selma to Stirling Brook - probably little brown bats, flyin=
g along the pavement at about 3-5 m height.. typical early evening patrolin=
g style.



I was not expecting to see as many, since our previous 2 walks (Maitland an=
d Smileys Park) produced very poor results.
