Throughout 2023-24, I continued rescuing underweight, dehydrated, injured and orphaned bats. I am pleased to say that many of my rescues slowly gained weight and strength and were eventually released to fly free as soon as the weather improved. Meanwhile, I have been trying to cope with the loss of my dear and precious husband. He passed away just before Christmas 2023, after a long illness. He was my treasure: my kindhearted, loving, strong Brian, and I loved him dearly. Brian supported me in so many ways, including my bat care work.

Looking after our pets: furry friend, rescued Peacock, chickens, home and the large garden has kept me very busy and I apologise for not updating my website and my Su’s Sky Puppies page for the past 6 months—meanwhile, many thanks for your support during this sad time.

I am including the names of some of my little rescue bats received during this period and will post photos as and when I find them.
