Goat Man, Mouse man, Cat Man, Snake Man and now……………. Bat Man
Another tale to tell.
The weather is going cooler, and windier, and so quite a few leaves get blown into the pool and they need taking out.
Recently saw a few – they will stay on the surface and then they will sink to the bottom – from a fruit tree.
So, I get the extended mesh net to scoop them out.
One ‘leaf’ was moving and on closer inspection it turned out to be a small bat!!
He was struggling with his swimming stroke – I can’t recommend the ‘BATterfly’ or indeed the ‘BATstroke’.
On the basis they only fly at night he may have been in the water for a good few hour’s!
Get him out of the water and into the sun. Then I put him in a small cardboard box so he can keep warm in the sunshine and not be bothered by the breeze.
20 minutes later he (or she) is off – another success!!

Lynx Watching – or not
I had watched a National Geographic Programme on the Iberian Lynx that live in Spain in one of two national parks. There has been a conservation programme to restore their numbers through a breeding programme and then releasing them into the wild.

Legend of Thanksgiving
When the first metalcasters arrived in the new world, what would one day become the thirteen colonies and ultimately the United States of America, they landed in Plymouth.
