Nambling South Road, Dowerin |
Bat, Lesser long-eared (Nyctophilus geoffroyi) |
This morning we are still amazed at a strange coincidence that occurred here during the night, and one hard to explain! We found a Lesser Longeared Bat in our mosquito and flyproof laundry!! We do not know how it got in! We rarely see bats around here and to have one inside is even rarer! What we found especially strange was that it was such a similar experience to Desrae and Wayne's, and possibly even the same species !!! Amazing! This is a new record for our place as well . We have only recorded the Goulds Wattled Bat and White-striped freetail bat around here previously. |
