Two pink-nosed goodbyes rolled one into the other. The last of our Spring soft releases rolled into the last sighting of our Scott Alley inhabitants, created especially for National Threatened Species Day.
Last pair! Last hurrah!

Looking up at the night sky, the stars can tell you when to seed, harvest, and fish. The overhead knowledge system heralds seasonal change, and allows you to read the weather forecast.

The little soft release trailer stands empty. On Saturday afternoon, we opened the hatch to the soft release enclosure, and wished the then current occupants, Bug and Helena, safe adventures.

As ever, please note: you need to be a qualified, vaccinated carer to handle bats. 🦇

“Due to increased urbanisation and habitat destruction, microbats often use outdoor furniture or similar human structures to roost in.”

Resplendent Zeus, pictured here, a velvety soft microbat is back to throw thunderbolts at moths and beetles, as he hunts below the tree canopy. Though, naturally, we sent him out with a full belly of mealworms encrusted with insectivore mix, and hydration.
