Whilst I am incredibly thankful that orphans have stopped arriving into care and with my last orphan weaned weeks ago, I am feeling a little nostalgic. Miss Magnolia was an orphaned Black flying-fox who I hand raised several seasons ago and she was a gorgeous little girl with a big personality. All going well, Magnolia is now of an age where she will be having her own babies out in the wild and with mating season just around the corner, another generation of little flappers will soon be on their

We are indeed fortunate in Australia to reap the ecological benefits and pollination services of four species of flying-foxes. In our area, the predominate species is the Black flying-fox but we also have vulnerable and endemic Grey-headed flying-foxes year round as well as Little Reds that visit during the summer months. Endangered Spectacled flying-foxes are not found in our area as they live in far north Queensland. Flying-foxes are a keystone species and their loss would have a profound and

Recently rescued by Mr Batzilla, grand old lady Tilly was found by a caring homeowner underneath an upturned plastic pool. We can only assume that she has collided with the house and seeking sanctuary, ended up where she did. Although not in the best of humour directly after rescue, Tilly's mood has improved and she is currently resting in a warm humidicrib munching on bananas.

We had a very special visitor this morning when Rachael brought in a baby ringtail possum who was found all alone on the ground. Baby possums of this age should be still in their mums pouch but sadly, lots of orphaned possums come into care each year. With subcut fluids on board and securely tucked up in his pouch, Baby Banjo is now on his way to his new foster mum. | Batzilla the Bat

Louella recently rescued not one but two adult flying-foxes out of large aperture fruit netting thrown over a lime tree. We know that things are tightening up out there when limes are on the menu but fortunately both Harry and Henrietta will be fine following time in care. Louella has replaced the dangerous large aperture netting with wildlife safe Hailguard so no more bats will be caught in that tree. Mr Harry is such a gentle boy and there is not a doubt in my mind that he knew we were there t
