Around 80 people from the local community surrounding Cussen Park Victoria attended a night all about bats. With the assistance of Flying Fox specialist Rodney Van Der Ree we educated the community about the species of bats surrounding the park.

We were lucky to capture 7 microbats.

5x Lesser Long Eared bat

1x Southern Freetail bat

1x Little Forrest bat

Rob’s talk was all things microbats and included facts such as; there is no such thing as a blind bat, why bats can hang upside down when they sleep and how bats use echolocation.

A great turn out by the local community considering it’s such a desolate part of regional Victoria.
