When we began
the folk song
Then today
we were reading
chapter 23
in the Burgess Bird Book
and discovered
that the nighthawk is sometimes called...
you guessed it...
bullbat.
Here are a couple of videos
we watched about the bullbat...
Wishing you homeschool blessings,
Bethany

Thank you for sharing this! We hear these a lot in the evening around our house and never knew that noise was made during a dive.
We are Amblesiders too! Following your blog now, Thanks. :-)
I never thought when we were doing Tall Men Riding to even inquire about a bullbat (or maybe I've forgotten.) That was a hard song for me. We would sing with the YouTube, but I also tried to work out a piano arrangement for us to sing with and really struggled with it. We enjoyed Waltzing Matilda (Term 1) and Botany Bay much more. Those piano arrangements were better because I could put a little bounce in them. Just couldn't get the rhythm right on TMR.
I noticed on the other Tall Men Riding post that you did Tree in the Trail this year. Did you have a Year 2 student? James and I just finished Year 2.
