Lovely little bat. You can see the clear Y nose leaf and the “rams horn” folded back long ears.
Please do not handle bats if you have not been vaccinated. If you were bitten or scratched, please immediately get medical care.

Thank you - I see the folded back ears now - and the 'y' noseleaf. Much appreciated.
And thank you for the warning - no biting or scratching thankfully. (It needed rescuing from having fallen somewhere very exposed on our verandah.)
