Our collage work is, as ever, growing alongside wildlife care, with the two literally side by side, interweaving whether intentional or not. Our Tiny but Wild shelter is our home-based studio and vice versa, and the knowledge from one flows into the other.

Several new and terrifically exciting projects for 2026 are forming in the wings, and while it is too early to reveal them, in full, a small peep at the process, for the source material is spectacular, really must be shared.

Our recent enquiry into the smallest wonders of nature, the quartet of entomologists, has reached a happy conclusion. Our role in the lives of the Sutton Grange autumn soft release possums has drawn to a close.

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.

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.

They’d threaded out into the night, that keen and clever pair. Up into the embrace of the trees. To the connected canopy of bough after bough. Perhaps to their familiar nesting box we’d earlier secured to the tree nearest the enclosure.

Unscrewing the lid, and easing a rope through the hole, we imparted, wordlessly, stay up high, little ones. Stay ever alert. Live a long life, and enjoy the texture of the thick bark beneath your paws. The following day we heard news they had vacated the trailer.

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.

Microbats

“If you find a microbat in a spot like this during winter, it is important not to disturb them as they are likely in torpor and may not be able to survive if this is interrupted.“

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

A Wildlife Victoria vets rescue, Zeus came into care at Tiny but Wild after being disturbed from his Sleeping Beauty torpor. We’d named him Zeus on account of him being quite rightly disgruntled upon being disturbed from his slumber.

A well warmed and rested Zeus, he weighed 16 grams as he headed off in 3, 2, 1. In the moment beforehand, a robust looking ringtail descended from the nearby darkened evergreen. Welcome home! Find a safe nook to hunker down in, buddy.

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.
