Did his/her mum come to the rescue?

Sadly no and although he was still alive at lunchtime, I donāt think he will be by the time I get home. The conservation guy hasnāt returned my call, but as he said yesterday baby bats that young practically never survive without their mum.
It doesnāt help that we had a massive storm and torrential rain last night.

I tried some warm goats milk as baby formula was hideously expensive but I think it made him worse to be honest.

Sadly Iāve just got home and the little mite has gone. I know that itās extremely, voir impossible, to save really young bat pups but Iād got quite attached to the little guy.

as mentioned I hate them, they frighten me and I wonāt even go in our barn where there are some. However you are a darling trying to save the little peep and hats off to you (and honestly as a nurse and midwife Iād have probabaly done the same whilst screaming like a pathetic girl 
).
Good on you girl for trying!

Best steer clear of Valencia then. Bats everywhere. On the shirts of Valencia FC, on inspection covers in the road, on the Valenciano flagā¦
On a more Attenboroāesque note, I observed something very interesting just now, in the humdrum locale of the car park at Carre4, Torigni [50]
The gang of sparrows based there were going round the cars picking insects off the bumpers and leading panels of the cars. Some were even diving in throā the grill to get at the insects on the front face of the radiators. They were all at it. Clever little spugs.
