And I read in the paper, in the last week or two, about a couple that had a fruit bat caught in their net and how they got bitten and scratched when they tried to free it - and THEN there was no rabies medication available in Australia at the time (not that it was definite that they needed it, but still). Then someone wrote a letter about how many creatures get caught in the nets, so we decided not to bother. Then I was falling over the bits of fabric (that I have yet to put away properly after the assignment) and decided to bother a little bit.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595085911431639840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644457737411976407.post-39919422008844087002014-01-20T14:39:50.342+11:002014-01-20T14:39:50.342+11:00The trees look so pretty Mary, however lorikeets a...The trees look so pretty Mary, however lorikeets are hard to beat.
