And now a further word from that irrepressible oriental birder the
honorable Mr. Me Too.
At Pegasus Riding, School, Holt on Sunday afternoon, I watched small black
ants streaming over brickwork. Some were pilot ants. I know this because
they wore wings. Later I watched about 12 Dusky Woodswallows hawking round and
round. Perhaps the ants took off and had their short lived sorties snuffed
out by the dusky bandits.
Anyone recommend a fairly comprehensive book about ants, preferably
Australian ants that can be readily understood by the Layton Laypersons.
