I'm just watching a rather interesting program on 'kites' on BBCi, ancient megastructures in Saudi, which I'd never heard of. Archaeologists are trying to work out the purpose of the 6,600 neolithic 'kites' they have discovered so far. Interesting - clever, those neoliths.
In other news, our local kites, many of them hovering in the air, seemed to disappear with the worst of the heat, but I've today just spotted a couple floating on the air currents.
Many, many years ago, we used to get a lone bat, flying back and forth along the garden, then nothing. This week, through the kitchen window, I'm counting no less than three bats, flying elongated circles in the garden, stopping just inches from the kitchen window. I wonder where they are roosting?
