2019 hasn't begun to well,two weeks ago we were called to a pipistrelle that was found on driveway.We got it home but on examination it was found to have exposed finger bones and an open fracture on its left leg.It had been this way for some time as the foot was necrotic,with this injury the kindest option was to have him euthanized.Last wednesday we got a call to three bat stuck on fly paper but as you can see all had died a little while ago.Such a sad sight to see as they would have been stuck there trying to get unstuck and slowly starving and dying from exhaustion.Two are Brown Long Eared bats and the other we think is one of the myotis bats.If anyone is using fly paper please think again and if you need to use it think about putting it inside a something a bat can't get into like an old bird feeder.If you ever find a bat caught on fly paper please don't try and pull them off and get in contact with someone who can remove them safely.😢
