Kids are lucky today! In my day one would never see dead bats hanging from the electrical wires (or are they telegraph wires? That's a question for another day). These days one can't go down the street to a friends house or to the shops without seeing any number of the fried critters. Here is a few to keep you amused..
Don't forget you can click on the photo's to enlarge them.
This one is just near Marcella's place. Marcella's dad is Matt Smith - See his blog here!
This next one is interesting. It wasn't until after I had developed the photo's (in my darkroom of course!) that I realised that there were two of them fried together. It's on the corner of Newington and Bright streets, Marrickville.
This next one is a real creepy one. It looks like something from one of Tim Burton's animated offerings. It's in Albert St, Marrickville.
Finally, here are some pics of a dead bat I saw on the footpath in Rosebery. I can only assume that it was fried on the wires and dropped down to the footpath when it had sufficiently decayed.
Some more bat resources for those who may be interested.
