BATS OUT IN FORGE • HUNTING INSECTS


’JUDGING from the report of the midnight hike' by


the Scouts, Guides and Ran- gers from Clithcroe to Gis- burn, following the banks of the Ribblc, »c must admit that youlh has shown the way. To pioneer a midnight


walk, has been in my mind a long time. The idea has always intrigued me, and it is now over twelve months ago that 1 put forward the sug­ gestion to a meeting of our Naturalists Society in the hope that such an idea would


materialise. Unfortunately tills was not to


be, and the' Scouts therefore must be given credit for the originality of their new venture. • From the brief report I draw

So let us not imagine for one


garding the night activities of certain people, but this does not come within my scope, and is perhaps better left to those con­ cerned with psychology. A brief look around town soon


reveals that the bats are very active., Just as darkness is fall­ ing, and particularly if the evening is warm, they are to be seen' recklessly flitting around the houses, and on the side streets, as they begin the even­ ing hunt for insects. Those we see about town are


not easy, and one has to be well and truly shod to maintain an upright stance, whilst negotiat­ ing many of the awkward places. After dark the paths become
