Hello all, and happy transition from 2007 to 2008,

Do birds ever wonder  what day or year it is?

  I was recently on the Mornington Peninsula, for the first time in a while, 
and was delighted to find a rufous fantail nest.
 There was a pair of adult rufous fantails and they were taking turns [the few 
times I saw them] sitting on the nest.

 I did not wish to disturb them, and could not see young, so I presume there 
were eggs in the nest.

  Is this later than usual for them to nest and breed?

 Subject the Second: bats..

  If around 70 small bats [allow margin for error as they were flying in 
daytime]
suddenly move to a house, appear one day, from where are they most likely to 
have come?

  Does anyone know a 'bat man' - or whatever the speciality is called - who 
knows a great deal about mammals that fly in that part of Aus.?

  Happy Birding to all.. and safety for Man and Beast alike this summer..
