Rescuing a flying-fox wedged under a pool fence: this is Ozzie

Ozzie is an adult male (of more mature years) who somehow found himself wedged under a pool fence. I don't really know how he snookered himself there, wedging himself under the glass pool fence so I couldn't get him out.
Normally I can get anyone out of somewhere where they have inadvertently managed to snooker themselves, however Ozzie managed to snooker himself particularly well and deviously, and he proved to be a little tricky to extract.
I had a few plans, including placing plastic under his wrist so I could drag him without physical damage to his wrist, along to where the pool fence had a higher clearance. Fortunately the MOP (member of public) had an allen key and could manage to loosen one of the fittings and slightly lift the panel so I could wrangle him out from under the panel.
I can't know what I will face when I get to a rescue, and I can't know what tools I may need; I just know that if a bat got himself into the situation it should be theoretically possible to undo his actions, but sometimes theory doesn't interact so well with reality.
This guy Ozzie (from Australia Avenue) managed to totally snooker himself so an easy extrication wasn't possible... Fortunately the MOP was able to fill in with the required tool so I was able to extract this batty from his awkward situation.

Ozzie didn't make it; he fought for 36 hours then succumbed to rhabdoylosysis, which is heart and renal failure secondary to him struggling to attempt to free himself from his situation. This is not something we can fix and though we try to mitigate the effects by giving huge amounts of subcutaneous fluids, we were unable to effect his survival.

I have put a warning screen after the standard bat handling warning screen, before the footage of him in distress. This footage may be difficult to watch; please switch off at the warning screen if you are sensitive to images of animals in distress

RIP Ozzie from Australia Ave.
