Yes, this isn't listed as happening this year, maybe next year.

Despite the awful weather the ones in our barn are quite busy. There's nothing we like better than sitting outside on a warm summer evening watching them swoop and dive. The cats go mad because they haven't a hope of catching them but they keep on trying.

Any plans to post a Tom and Batty video?

On a mild summer day, the martins and swallows are active over our fishing loch, and as dusk falls they are replaced by bats - all catching flies over the water. And you have to be careful with the bats - as you flick your fly line through the air, preparatory to casting, then a bat's sonar will pick out the fly on the end of your cast and go for it. You really don't want to try unhooking a bat - so use de-barbed hooks, and get your fly on the water before the bat gets to it.
