Rescuing Widdershins, a flying-fox found on the ground

Widdershins is a a juvenile male who was found on the ground outside a petrol service station. The lovely MOP sent a photo which helped me find him without any trouble whatsoever. It's amazing how a single photo which accidentally showed the only flag in the area helped me home in on the batty immediately. In care he's doing a whole heap better than I originally thought from his presentation; he's got mild concussion and is a little bruised and battered, however he's doing really well after 24 hours. It's early days yet and he's not using one leg really well, but I'm hopeful for a happy outcome. And his name? Widdershins means anticlockwise; it's also seen as an unlucky direction, and associated with witchcraft; I think this a perfect name for this little guy, along the lines of my current magical naming theme. Tolga Bat Hospital takes donations for our batties. Tolga is an awesome place in Far North Queensland, which has charity status. By sending donations to them, they get a percentage (and deserve every cent) and they can allocate money to me for batty expenses without it becoming part of my income stream (which makes tax time difficult). https://tolgabathospital.org/donate/ Mention Megabattie or Meg in the PayPal message box and the money will find its way to me. If no message box appears, please email Jenny to tell her that the money is for me. IMPORTANT: If you pay through the PayPal Giving Fund, can you please email Jenny with the AMOUNT DONATED and the name under which you have donated, OR just forward along the PP receipt. The Giving Fund doesn’t charge any fees (so the bats get more money) but PP doesn’t itemise out the amount, they just send a total every month, and we don’t know if the money is for Tolga or for Megabattie. Here’s Jenny’s email. [email protected]
