It’s good that it is friday….
The Nicola naturalists had their presentation last night and DR Kerridge told all about bats. He dispelled some beliefs in particular, bats are not blind but prefer sonar for hunting. He kept bats and said they were expensive to keep as he had to buy expensive meal worms and toss them up toward the ceiling.
Some species of bats have been clocked at 90 km an hour.
About 60 people enjoyed the presentations including the local preamble, of slides and stats. the christmas bird count was related of interest were the 13 Great Blue Herons counted.
Some cormets and humming birds were also of interest.
