In case you missed it, last month on #iNaturalistNZ we had the second confirmed record of a fruit bat in NZ.

An Australian Little Red Flying-Fox was seen alive, then later recovered dead, in Blenheim in NZ's South Island, about 2,000 km from home.

The previous sighting was an unfortunate bat that crossed the Tasman only to get electrocuted on a power line in Hamilton, around 1928.
