Rat v. Thrush. While working in the garden the other "afternoon a residant of Invercargill was attracted by the swaying of a sprig of clematis which had run from a beech' bough to the eaves of the house (says the Southland Times). He was surprised to see a large rat making its way gingerly over the clematis spring until it reached the safety of the tree. There it tried to investigate a bird'sy nest, to be driven off by an ir-ate thrush. Finally the rodent descended to earth and scuttled under the fence, the horticulturist realising too late what an excellent opportunity had been presented for exterminating the1 unwelcome visitor.
