Hi there Bec, bit of batwoman am I. Yes bats can be very small, we have them here. Very cute the size of a sparrow in body size. They're everywhere and hang around street lighting so they could easily come in contact with ppl. I see them on the end of our jetties too. Swooping around those bright lights catching bugs..just so close to ppl fishing. We also have the giant bat colony world famous in south Australia. And I did actually observe the weirdest behaviours over this last year like never seen before. Like them out in daylight in an absolute feeding frenzy and extremely agitated ??? They are nocturnal feeders ??

I wondered myself if it was the bombardment of 5G in city parks..causing this. Those bats were never here in our city before 10 years ago. Left their northern tropical states to come down to cooler South Aussie is as a result of no food supply we're told. BS more like it. Yes I have seen big dead bats on ground in our city parkland. Very pretty animals actually. I think your suspicions have some merit. It doesn't read well does it.....sus, KK

Bats are one of my top three favorite animals. (Kangaroos and Otters too).

They’re so neat aren’t they?

Plus they eat mosquitoes, so they’re undervalued by our society.

I appreciate you weighing in with your experience down under!

I was really upset to see the mummified corpses of the poor creatures I found in my yard.

Did I mention that I live and out 40 minutes away from the new plum island? Just throwing that out there…
