Two rescue calls; 2 different outcomes

Not all rescues end up locating the bat; not all rescue end up with a batty survivor.
Here's just another day in batty rescue.

I couldn't locate batty number one; I found the tree from the MOP's pix and excellent directions but no batty visible in tree or locally.
There was a family of currawongs in the adjacent tree who most likely objected to a batty in their territory, so they probably harassed him into flying off even if he wasn't ready and was still a bit spaced out. I couldn't see him in any of the local trees.
I hope you're doing OK out there Mr Batty despite you probably not feeling the best.
There was also a very vocal Sulphur Crested Cockatoo chick squalling for food in the big tree; they're very noisy, totally relentless and have a harsh cry which can be incredibly annoying. (poor parents...)
The bike path trail is one of my favourite riverside walks. I grew up on the opposite side of the river from the rescue. When I was a kid, this entire area was a rubbish tip, and the river was a toxic stinky quagmire.
I love the revitalisation of the river and the foreshore with all the recreation area and trees.

Batty number two was easy to find, though I am indebted to lovely MOP for coming to show me exactly where the little one was; this bus stop is a very common place for rescuing electrocuted bats, and this was a case of NFE (non fatal electrocution) or SLE (sublethal electrocution).
The huge fig tree above the bus stop disguises the powerlines running through the branches.
This is the last clip in the upload, so if you're feeling fragile, just switch off before rescue 2. I have put the pix of her injuries after the final disclaimer screen; they're pretty graphic.

I called this adult female Grey girl Charabanc, and took her for immediate euthanasia.
RIP Charabanc
