Duffy is a juvenile male Grey-Headed Flying-Fox who was found on the ground in a car park and rescued by a lovely MOP; he bundled him up in a jacket and managed to get the little guy safely into a box.
It took me quite a while to collect the little guy because I was at my Mum's nursing home when the call came in, and nobody was able to do it straight away, then the rescue for Gladys popped in and it was on the way, so it was nearly 2 hours before I got to little Duffy.
I really didn't think he had much of a chance for survival when I first saw him given that he was crying in a very cerebral way (head injuries often have a particular cry)... I was not only surprised to find him alive when I got home, but alive a few hours later and apparently improving. I hate it when bats make a liar of my predictions...
I don't know how he's going to do but I'm feeling much more hopeful than when I rescued him.
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).

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.
