Lucky bat is hanging on. He seems to have improved and is active and squeaking again. I hope he'll survive, but I know in my heart that he probably won't last the night.

In the meantime, have some photos of a grumpy sacred kingfisher.

Sacred Kingfisher

Kingfisher says "BUGGER OFF!"

The brown fringes on his wing feathers show he is a sub-adult juvenile. Mature adults are a solid iridescent green.

This afternoon I let him have a fly in the house, and he flew up and landed higher than his release height. If it's not raining tomorrow (and I can't remember when I last said those words) I'll let him go.

(speaking of which, here via [livejournal.com profile] silmaril.)

Wow is he pretty!!!

(After glancing up, I should probably also say that I'm also [livejournal.com profile] silmaril's evil twin, for the record.)

Absolutely gorgeous! I got here via birdlovers and have just read back on some of your entries--is it okay if I friend you? I'd love to see more.
