Do you have the background to these photos? Who captured them and why?

No background. The bat was being evicted from a house. Normally we leave them alone and they make their own way out. Or not. Sometimes they get themselves into impossible positions where they can't take off so in that case we very carefully take them outside.
The general area is dry sclerophyll forest with some cleared grassland that is reverting via ti tree and wattles to a forested state.
