LInti is an adult female GreyHeaded Flying who was found on the ground and who climbed low onto a titree trunk. Close by on the road was the dead body of a young juvenile; I don't know if it was hers, or that the little one was coincidentally in the same place. It's quite possible that it was her baby and they were flying out together and both suffered the same accident flying too low near a road; it's not something we will ever know.

It looks like Linti has an issue with her elbow but I need to get her an xray first to see what's going on. I think it has probably been dislocated; it doesn't feel right to me but I can't tell yet.

I chose her name in the kind of roundabout way my brain throws up suggestions; she was on the corner of Highcliff Lane, and I immediately thought of Heathcliff and his love, Cathy. Cathy had a bunch of surnames from Earnshaw (maiden name) through to Heathcliff and then subsequently Linton. I thought Linti sounded nice for her, and then I called the little juvie Cathy because I need a tag to remember my bats as individuals with stories, even for a life cut short.
Here's hoping Linti survives and the injury isn't serious.

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.
