Flying foxes facing danger

Close call: A 5 day old female Black Flying-fox pup,(with umbilical cord still attached) was rescued on Monday from Cameron Street, Wauchope. A member of the public had seen the mother flying-fox and realised after two days there was a live baby on the mother. She called it into FAWNA's 24 hour 7 day a week wildlife rescue hotline. Essential Energy despatched a bucket truck and the two man crew extricated the mother and baby from the overhead power lines into the hands of a FAWNA rescuer. PIC: Libby Stewart
