Happy Earth Day everyone and is there really a more pivotal species to celebrate than our batty friends? Although many people don't realise it, our day to day activities would be severely impacted without bats. Microbats consume millions of tonnes of disease carrying insect pests every evening and flying-foxes pollinate and spread the seeds of biodiversity. All bat species are in decline and why are we allowing this to happen? Can humans really survive without bats? Let's hope we never have to c

Unlike small insectivorous bats that have tiny eyes, mostly rely on echolocation and who spend their days tucked away in a dark places, flying-foxes roost in large colonies and hang in the tree tops enjoying the sunshine. Flying-foxes have excellent day and night vision and they have evolved over millions of years to perfectly suit their pollination and seed dispersal role. Naturally attracted to pale forest blossom which is swiftly located by by large forward facing eyes, flying-foxes possess a

This stunning creature is a Grey-headed flying-fox. Endemic to Australia and federally listed as vulnerable to extinction, their future is looking grim due to decades of abysmal government policy and a human population desensitised to the necessity and plight of our long distances pollinators and seed dispersers of native forests. Although vulnerable to extinction, Greys are still being legally shot in both Queensland and New South Wales and there is strong suggestion that illegal shooting is ri

This is the fate that befell poor Mr Ant but fortunately, the homeowner found him and called him in. Rescued a couple of days ago by Bec and now in care with us, Mr Ant will heal up just fine before being released back to the wild. Any b

Releasing an animal back to the wild would have to be one of life's greatest joys and Gidgee the Black flying-fox was certainly in a hurry to go home after being in care. Rescued by Jane after finding himself on the ground with a couple of circling dogs, Gidgee was x-rayed at the RSPCA Wildlife Hospital where he was found to have a bruised lung but no other significant injuries. A few weeks in care and he is as good as new. I am raising funds to build a desperately needed new flight aviary so I
