This is an update to the post entitled Caring for The Count: A Bat Rescue Story (pics and video)
The Count has successfully transferred to a tree limb, and is awaiting dusk to hopefully be reunited with it's colony.
It was exciting to get to rescue a bat after witnessing it ground itself like it did.
Great shot. He's a big chap we get titchy ones in the UK. Reminds me of the fruit bats that we had in OZ massive they were :)
Thanks! He was actually small enough to fit in the palm of my hand. That may be large, but i havent seen a lot of bats up close. I was able to get pretty close with my camera. Ive seen pictures and vids of fruit bats. Definitely way bigger than this guy/gal.
Haha trick of the camera. Yer the fruit bats are massive. I used to start work early at around 5 I would head out an they would be swooping around. I through I was still drunk at first and it was some sort of pterodactyl :)
