Rescuing Midge, a microbat who was found on the ground

Midge is an adult female Eastern Bentwing bat who was found on the footpath when the MOPs were out walking. They picked her up with a hankie, and brought her home. This is the second bentwing I have ever rescued in only 3 days, and a few weeks later, I rescued another bentwing. In 19 years I've never rescued a bentwing before and all of a sudden, there are 3 in a month. Bent-wing bats migrate in autumn to hibernate in caves better suited for the winter and now is apparently the time it happens. Unfortunately Midge had a fracture adjacent to one elbow, which is not a fixable issue, so she was euthanased. RIP little Midge 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]
