Sydney bat is still with me. As mentioned, thankfully she wasn't cat attacked, but she was underweight and refused point blank to self-feed for weeks. As she slowly gained weight and learned how to self-feed, (the photo is of her finally self-feeding on Dec. 29th)...

Birthday Girl
Excited, like a child....up early to take the bins down the track. Not normally up so early - it was still dark, but lovely, and it's my birthday. As my rescue batties are in need of extra space in which to recuperate, I am hoping I might be lucky and receive a...

Cheeky Pup

Greater Horseshoe Bat
As it's almost Halloween ...I thought I would share a camera-shy juvenile Greater Horseshoe bat photo. Having been weighed, he was reversing out of his bag whilst I waited patiently to take his photo. ^o^ ^0^
