Further to Richard's report, at the Blomidon Naturalists Society  
meeting last night there were two more reports of active bats  
yesterday: Bernard Forsythe saw one flying at White Rock Pond, and  
someone else saw one roosting on a building at West Hall's Harbour.   
Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
